Bolohead Ridge to Kaala to Tiki Ridge

March 2, 2013

I found myself walking on the Waianae Valley Road with Marcus, Jay, Tom, Scott, Brian and Aaron to hike up Bolohead Ridge. Did I ever mention I hate this mile plus road of unyielding concrete with a passion? This was our second attempt, as two weeks ago we got rained out and had to turn […]

Warrior Dash 2013

February 23, 2013

1:30pm starting time + traffic = not going to make it. I had persuaded Glenn to sign up for the Warrior Dash, which is a 3 mile obstacle course which benefits the St. Jude Hospital. But first we had to get to Dillingham Ranch in Waialua on the North Shore, where the race was being held. […]

Upper Makua Cave

February 17, 2013

Walking back down from Waianae Valley after our failed attempt to hike Bolohead ridge was called off due to rainy conditions which made it unsafe to continue, we decided to end the day by exploring Upper Makua Cave. We drove past Kaneana Cave, which I kick for myself for not stopping by and checking it […]

Piliwale Ridge to Lulumahu Falls and Kaniakapupu

February 9, 2013

Ever since I met Ted and his crew coming up from Piliwale ridge to Lulumahu Falls when we were coming down that same ridge, I have always wanted to follow in his footsteps so to speak. But having no knowledge of the route down to the falls, that hike was shelved for awhile. Today Ted was […]

Kaupo Cliffs #4 to Tom-Tom

February 3, 2013

Ever since Marcus mentioned the seven cliffs of Kaupo in Waimanalo, I’ve wanted to hike all five of them, as the other two are supposedly not doable. Tom was nice enough to be our guide today to Cliff #4. We met at Waimanalo Beach Park and carpooled in Glenn’s truck, and then drove into the neighborhood […]

Kuli’ou’ou West Ridge to Hahaione Trail

January 26, 2013

Wanting to catch a quick hike before the projected thunderstorms were set to soak the island, I decided to hike up Kuli’ou’ou West Ridge to Hahaione Trail by myself, as the last hike we did not got a single decent view due to cloudy and rainy conditions. Going up the still somewhat muddy trail, I could see that […]

Tiki Ridge to Mount Ka’ala

January 20, 2013

It has been over two years since we last hiked up to the flat topped mountain known as Mount Ka’ala. This called for a reunion hike and another reunion of sorts, as Jason joined Glenn and myself after taking a long break from the hiking trails. We pushed off a little past 7am and made our way […]

Kuli’ou’ou West Ridge

January 12, 2013

Looking for an easy hike after our Kawiwi hike last weekend, I settled on the Kuli’ou’ou West Ridge hike as I have never done that particular route before. Originally I was going to do it with the H.O.T. ( Hiking Oahu Trailblazers ) group, but their kick-off time of 9:00am was in conflict with other […]

Pu’u Kawiwi to No Name Peak to Ka’ala Trail

January 6, 2013

After a week of pounding rain and wind, we hoped today would be a nice day to hike Pu’u Kawiwi to No Name Peak to Tiki Ridge. Glenn and I met Chris at the end of Waianae Valley Road at about 8am to be greeted by windy and dark cloud conditions. Wasn’t looking good. The […]

Ohikilolo to Keaau Ridge

December 16, 2012

After a month of relatively easy hikes, it was time to get my “hiking legs” back. And what better way to do that, than an ridge hike with the Caveman? That’s why I found myself in Tamura’s parking lot along with Marcus, George, Jay, Tom, Brian R, Darren, Brian C, Peter, Helen and Scott at […]
