Manoa Falls is a waterfall in Manoa, on the island of O'ahu in Hawai'i, featuring a vertical drop of about 150 feet (46 m). It is accessible from the nearest road by a hike of approximately 1.5 miles (2.4 km). The hike passes through many ecosystems and feels like an arboretum. At the bottom of the falls there is a tiny pool good for wading. The path is often slippery and muddy, and flash floods are prone to occur anytime.

Famous quotes containing the word falls:
“Fate forces its way to the powerful and violent. With subservient obedience it will assume for years dependency on one individual: Caesar, Alexander, Napoleon, because it loves the elemental human being who grows to resemble it, the intangible element. Sometimes, and these are the most astonishing moments in world history, the thread of fate falls into the hands of a complete nobody but only for a twitching minute.”
—Stefan Zweig (18811942)
