The Hiking HI

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

Lesser known ridge which provides classic leeward views and bit of Ko'olau traverse hiking.

An authentic Oahu waterfall experience, a steep and slippery descent into the valley will reward you with this medium-sized beauty.

Intermediate level trail that descends into Waimea Canyon and ends on top of a waterfall. A great trail to experience this beautiful park.

Shaded out and back to an epic overlook of the Na Pali coast and it's magical cliffs and valleys. This is pure earth porn.

Best after heavy rain, this larger waterfall in Manoa Valley can be a nice treat for those ready for a slippery and muddy adventure.

While it does require a parking permit, the perk of that nuisance means you get much of this stellar ridge to yourself. Sweet solitude.

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.
