The Hiking HI

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

Short, but skinny ridge hike to a hole in the ridge ("puka"), which perfectly frames the windward coast, creating an epic photo opportunity.

Dangerously beautiful, this notorious hike is the ultimate hiking/climbing adventure. Bring some extra courage with you on this one.

Upper intermediate ridge near Honolulu, with 360 degree summit views on a clear day. Connect it to Mount Olympus for some KST traverse fun.

Short shaded hike through beautiful Koa trees that leads to a pleasant lookout. Hike it during guava season for an even sweeter experience.

The grand tour of Oahu's Mauka Trail system with beautiful plants and trees, a bamboo forests, and of course epic mountain and valley views.

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

The little known and far more grueling of Oahu's windward "stair" hikes. Sure it's not heaven, but the views are fire.
