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 […]

Pu’u O Hulu Kai to Uka

December 8, 2012

After our warm-up climb at Mauna Lahilahi, we drove towards Sea Century, a subdivision in Maili. Chris staged his truck at the end of Anaha Street and we all drove in Glenn’s truck to park on Kaukama Street where we would hike up Puu O Hulu. This volcanic hill separates Maili from Nanakuli and is actually made up […]

Mauna Lahilahi

December 8, 2012

Exploring Mauna Lahilahi on the Waianae side is a nice little climb up the world’s smallest mountain. I wouldn’t by any stretch, call this a hike. Glenn and I met Chris on Lahilahi Street and went over the rock wall. Sign says the park is open from 5am to 10pm, but the gates were still locked […]

Diamond Head Under A Full Moon

December 1, 2012

There was a full moon out tonight and instead of howling, we went hiking up Diamond Head. Picked up Chris and David from KCC and parked in a sleepy residential neighborhood side street. Started off a little past 3:30am and scrambled through dry grass, kiawe trees and crumbly terrain as we made our way up the crater rim. David […]

Koko Crater Rim Redux

November 25, 2012

I met up with Glenn and Chris at the Koko Head Botanical Gardens to do a nice Sunday stroll up the entire Koko Crater rim, we have hiked up from the arch and from the tracks. But never have we completed the entire Koko Crater rim. The grassy and kiawe trees eventually changed to the rocky […]

Kawiwi to Kamaileunu Knife Edge

November 10, 2012

I got the invite from Marcus to join his crew of Russell, Tess, Ted and KiLei to hike Kawiwi to Kamaileunu Knife Edge, the hard way. Is there any other way with the caveman? I called up Glenn and he picked me up and off we went to travel all the way to Makaha Towers […]
