The Sleeping Giant (Nounou Mountain) has two main paths. At the top you’ll get panoramic views of the entire East Shore. There are two options: Nounou East Trail (approx. 3.5 miles round trip) is the most popular route and starts at Haleilio Road. You’ll follow a steep climb through a shaded forest of ironwood and guava trees and a descent up lava rock before you get to the panoramic views of Wailua River and Mt. Wai’ale’ale. At the very top is a grassy clearing with picnic tables. The Nounou West Trail is slightly shorter and quieter (2 miles round trip) though more difficult over those two miles. The trail leaves from the end of Lokelani Road in the Wailua Homesteads or an access point along Kamalu Road (State Highway 581), near telephone pole #11.The Kuamo’o Trail is the easiest and fatures a gentler incline and leavs from Kuamo’o Road.
