I have heard of such a bunker, but personally have never run across one. If you do, let me know please.

Yes they no longer give out the key and have closed it to the general public with the exception of certain groups. That’s why we always start early in the day on our hikes to err on the side of caution. Yes it’s best to go with an experienced guide and take care of the aina. A shame though that more of the public can’t experience this area for it’s beauty and raw nature.

Used to be you would buy a sticker for your car and get a key. That has been long ago gone. The nature of the trails not being maintained makes it easy to get lost. That 3.5 hours you spent had it been closer to sunset could have resulted in a Rescue having to be performed. The pigs are protective too and an attack by a sow would create a bloody injury you may not come home from. Now, others want this trail opened to the public so all of this may go on as well as over – use and the garbage and other pitfalls other trails suffer from. Best tomjust go with experienced guides for $10 and leave a sacred place. . . . Sacred..

Thanks for sharing the history and memories of this special place. Yes, it’s quite sad to see the land slowly being taken over by private property, closing off access so that the rest of us can enjoy it.

Sorry, no luck tracking down the key. I would suggest you call Camp Timberline which shares the gate, they might have a better idea who has the key.
Good luck!

Any luck tracking down the secret key?

I’d love to do this hike.

Aloha,
