Over time, the iron tires on the wagon wheels passing over the soft rock in this place carved deep ruts that are still visible today more than 100 years after they were made. The Pony Express also followed the Oregon Trail past this spot near Guernsey, Wyoming.

My paternal grandmother was full East Band Cherokee from Western North Carolina. She passed away when I was about 6 years old so I never got to know her.
The Trail of Tears is a name given to the ethnic cleansing and forced relocation of Native American nations from southeastern parts of the United States following the Indian Removal Act of 1830. The removal included many members of the following tribes, who did not wish to assimilate: Cherokee, Muscogee, Seminole, Chickasaw, and Choctaw nations, among others, from their homelands to Indian Territory west of the Mississippi River. The Native Americans who chose to stay and assimilate were allowed to become citizens in their states and of the U.S. The phrase "Trail of Tears" originated from a description of the removal of the Choctaw Nation in 1831. Many Native Americans suffered from exposure, disease and starvation on the route to their destinations. Many died, including 2,000-6,000 of 16,542 relocated Cherokee.
In 1830, the Cherokee, Chickasaw, Choctaw, Muscogee, and Seminole (sometimes collectively referred to as the Five Civilized Tribes) were living as autonomous nations in what would be called the American Deep South. The process of cultural transformation (proposed by George Washington and Henry Knox) was gaining momentum, especially among the Cherokee and Choctaw. Many white settlers had pressured the federal government to move the Indians out of the Southeast; some encroached on Indian lands and others wanted land made available to white settlers. Andrew Jackson helped gain Congressional passage of the Indian Removal Act of 1830, which authorized the government to offer deals in order to extinguish Native American title to lands in the Southeast.

Trails are well signposted like this, with distance to points of interest marked in meters. It's hard to get lost in Namsan.
English labels are little more than Romanized Korean, however. But once I remember which suffix means which, it's much easier to figure out what these points of interest are. "-sa" (寺) is a Buddhist temple, while "-am" (庵) is a grotto, and "-neung/-reung" (陵) means a tomb.

This is NOT an official "trail," and that by hiking here, you do so at your own risk. I did the hike with Jeremy a knowledgeable guide at Kauai Hiking Adventures. Kalepa Ridge hike will take you along the ridge line between Honopu and Kalalau Valley's, offering some of the most incredible views into Kalalau Valley. The panoramic views into Kalalau Valley as you hike out onto the ridge stretching towards Na Pali are simply incredible. The day we did the hike the weather was clear. We began the trail at 10:30 am and finished at 1:30 pm after a lunch at the point with local fruits and many photo stops along the way.
The GPS showed a total round trip of 2.1 miles with an elevation change of 650 feet. This completes all the ocean side trails in Kokee State Park. Of all the ocean side trails, this one is the best.
The Honopu Ridge Trail winds it's way through dark forests, thick vegetation, and along ridgetops, as it leads to a stunning viewpoint. It is best to wear light long pants or the ferns will be scraping across your legs for the first mile. There is a good bit of descent in the first mile and a half, it's not that much different than many of the ridges in the area. The trail is not officially maintained or marked so you must climb over or under many fallen trees, and climb down steep slopes. Honopu Ridge Trail is a 4.6 mile hike that takes you to incredible views of Honopu Valley and a portion of the Na Pali Coastline. The trail drops about 1,650ft in elevation from the trailhead to the ridge.
We started the hike at 7:00am and ended at 10:30 am. It is best to do this trail mid day for the proper light. I would not suggest to do this trail on a wet day.
