Wa'ahila Ridge is considered one of the most endangered dry ridge hikes in Hawaii. I honestly don't know why though because there are only a few endemics, both of which seem to be doing well.

The ridge descriptions listed here are based primarily on work done for Ecology 265. Most ridge pictures are of individual sample plots.

Most species listed here are commonly seen on the trail head. This list is not complete but will tackle the main species on the trail.
