	OHE March 7, 2001 (Pali Falls & Notches)
		Following a bad cold of one week I used Wednesday, Feb. 21, for a recovery hike of sorts by walking down the Old Pali Highway to the small waterfall near the base of the Nuuanu Pali Lookout.
		Where the Old Pali Highway connects to the apex of closed A'uola Road, I turned left onto the obscure beginning of the Likeke Trail and, crossing over a low ridge, descended through a dark forest to join a cobblestone right-of-way.
		There did seem to be a trail of sorts coming up from the Nuuanu forest into the second notch, so perhaps that is a viable alternative to scrambling down and up both notches along the ridge top.

		Abandoned when the new highway and tunnels opened in 1959, and slowly being reclaimed by nature, the old Pali is used today only by hikers, strollers, and mountain bikers, seeking a few quiet hours away from the city.
		Even before Kamehameha's army defeated the soldiers of Oahu's chief, Kalanikupule, in the battle of Nuuanu in 1795 (forcing many of Oahu's defenders over the cliffs to their deaths), a foot trail existed from Nuuanu Valley to the windward side of Oahu.
		I worked for the State DOT for 25 years and thought the Old Pali Road ended at the concrete turn around at the right side of the existing New Pali Road outside of the Tunnels.

		Gale-force winds sometimes howl through the mountain pass at this 1,186-foot-high perch guarded by 3,000-foot peaks, so hold on to your hat -- and small children.
		Even before the road existed, the Nuuanu Pali (which translates as "cool heights") was infamous because legend claims it was the location of Kamehameha the Great's last battle.
		Although some academic scholars scoff at this, the story alleges that in 1795, Kamehameha pursued Oahu's warriors up Nuuanu to these cliffs and waged a battle in his attempt to unite the Hawaiian islands.
