Known as "backside to stairway," this ridge, with sharp dropoffs and steep scrambles, is a tough one. But that is the best path to "heaven."

TRIPLER RIDGE

Low-trafficked Ko'olau finger ridge with beautiful 360 summit views on a clear day. As a bonus, take the KST to the iconic haiku stairs.

Teleport from tropical Maui on this otherwordly trail. Wake up early and catch a summit sunrise for an even more epic crater experience.

PAPALI UKA

Little known trail on windward Oahu with junctions to gems like "The Nipple," Sacred Falls, and the KST. A veteran hiker type of trail.

KOKO CRATER RIM LOOP HIKE

Take the scenic route on this fun and (somewhat) sketchy scramble around this volcanic tuff cone. Watch out for the cacti!

LAIE RIDGE

Lengthly, low-trafficked ridge gives you a uniquely beautiful perspective of windward and central Oahu. Long pants encouraged.

WEST KULI'OU'OU RIDGE

The unmaintained, less trafficked, and sketchier neighbor to the popular Kuli'ou'ou ridge. Worth it? Absolutely.

Mar 11

AIEA RIDGE TRAIL

Long ungraded ridge that shoots off from the popular Aiea Loop trail. Catch this on a clear day and those summit views of K-Bay are EPIC!
