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.

Take the scenic route on this fun and (somewhat) sketchy scramble around this volcanic tuff cone. Watch out for the cacti!

Ungraded and shadeless ridge in western Oahu that terminates at an overlook of a pyramid shaped neighbor ridge. A hot and quick calf burner.

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.

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

Central Maui's premier day hike. A 5 mile ungraded ridge with epic coastal and valley views will be sure to satisfy that hiking fix.

Lengthly, low-trafficked ridge gives you a uniquely beautiful perspective of windward and central Oahu. Long pants encouraged.
