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.

WA'AHILA RIDGE TRAIL to MOUNT OLYMPUS (AWAAWALOA)

Narrow ridges, a bit of scrambling, and epic windward and leeward summit views make this trail my go to quick(ish) hiking fix.

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!
