The Hiking HI

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

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.

Long, grueling ridge to the Ko'olau summit. Expect a few scrapes and muddy shoes, but also some great views on this tough ridge.

Some good views, a bit of KST traverse hiking, and a solid workout, this loop is great for those looking to explore a trail less travelled.

At 15 miles, this is one of the longest ridge hikes on Oahu. Bring snacks, friends, and maybe some tunes for this endurance challenge.

Rock scrambling, a bit of KST ridge hiking, and great views will accompany you on this low traffic southern Oahu hike.

Where the Ko'olaus begin (or end), trek through the northernmost portion of this iconic Oahu mountain range.
