Parks & Nature

The caves are a little more than a mile up Kaumana Dr. from Terrace Dr. Parking is on the oposite side of the street from the cave entrance, so be careful while crossing, as traffic can not see around the bend. Take flashlights and remove all valuables from your car before making your way up there. Or walk!

Essentials

Keep in mind that it is considered impolite to mention the high price of food items for the benefit of cashiers. Just suck it up and know that we all pay more for some standard staples. Safeway will cost more for many items.
