The Hiking HI

Spreading the aloha one hike at a time!

MOANALUA MIDDLE RIDGE to HAIKU STAIRS

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."

WAIMANU VALLEY via the MULIWAI TRAIL--BIG ISLAND

Big Island's premier backpacking trip. A 9+ mile trek to a majestic river valley where you camp along a black sand beach. Seriously unreal!

UPPER MANOA FALLS

Escape from the tourists with this short, but tricky, climb to the upper falls where you can bask in this small pool and soak in the views.

KUKUI TRAIL--KAUA'I

Trek to the base of the "Grand Canyon of the Pacific" fully experiencing this colorful wonder. Just save some energy for the trek back out.

MAKAUA FALLS

A wet and slippery tramp up a dry(ish) stream bed to a large and secluded waterfall. A little bit of balance goes a long way on this one.

MO'OLE VALLEY FALLS

With the potential to see 8 falls, this is hike is waterfall chaser's dream. Expect to get very muddy on this messy adventure.

KULANA'AHANE TRAIL to H3 LOOKOUT

Trek deep into Moanalua Valley, crossing streams and dodging mud, before a steep ridge ascent to an epic lookout. Cameras required.
