You are on the North Lower Trail. This junction (huina) marks the crossing of the old cattle road, which is most evident descending the slope to the northwest. The remains of this old road or trail can be seen upslope by the rain gauges and marks a period when this area was used for ranching. The trail today disappears into a forest of hau along the edge of the marsh but presumably connected to a road somewhere in the vicinity of the C&C transfer station. In this direction, you can climb back up and at the far north end of N$#257 P$#333;haku o Hauwahine park.

Proceeding on to the east takes one down to Kawai Nui Marsh and ponds created by Ahahiui Mālama i ka Lōkahi. Heading west (upslope) eventually goes to the North Cross Trail connecting to the Piko, and the parking lot beyond (EXIT).
