MAKUA VALLEY OPENS UP TO THE OCEAN

Makua Valley looking West. Yokohama Beach is at the very west end of Makua Valley.  Some of the trees are bare because of a controlled brush burn performed by the military which ran out of control.  The fire burned its way from down in the valley up the ridge.

 


 

THE FIRE

A good view of the barren area left by the fire which ran up the ridge.  The winter, however, will bring rain and vegetation will grow rapidly making this area beautiful again.

 


 

THE KUAOKALA TRAIL

The eroded area is the Kuaokala Trail which head west 3 miles toward a military satellite installation.  The trail follows Makau Valley along the ridge line.
