Iliahi Ridge is a 5 mile loop trail above Pacific Palisades that parallels the Mānana Ridge trail. I started hiking Iliahi Ridge around noontime on Saturday, having delayed my hike due to the presence of heavy cloud cover and intermittent rain earlier in the morning. Luckily for me, the clouds dissipated and it turned out to be a perfect day for hiking.
Last Sunday I had to help run camera during my church’s morning service, so I wasn’t able to join the hiking club on their members-only hike up Godek-Jaskulski Ridge. However, I really wanted to go hiking that day, so Elden and I decided to spend the afternoon exploring a little-known trail above Pearlridge called Waimalu Ditch.
I’d read about this trail before on Kaleo Lancaster’s blog, and used his excellent trail description to help us successfully navigate the barely discernible junctions and prevent a repeat of what happened to John Parsons in 1998.
