Also known as the ‘Ili ‘ili kā, this was one of the first trails used to travel between Kalaupapa Peninsula and the Mauka Lands. It was constructed under the supervision of R.W. Meyer. It was used to transport cattle and supplies down to the Leper Colony at Kalawao. It was also used by such notables as Father Damien and Jack London. Later when Kalawao was abandoned, the present trail farther west was constructed in 1887. Remnants of the ‘Ili ‘ili ka‘a trail are still present today. Translation: Rolling pebbles.
