Three people were injured by a falling rock along the Manoa Tunnel trail on Saturday afternoon.

The hikers were among several people who had stopped near a waterfall.

The younger girl sustained a back injury and was airlifted off the trail. The older girl suffered a wrist injury and was able to walk out on her own. Both girls, who were hiking with their family, were taken to the Queen’s Medical Center for treatment.
