The Hiking HI

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

Beautiful ridge hike through Cook pines and guava trees to this small waterfall and swimming hole. Don't forget your swimsuit.

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

Strenuous, sketchy, and overgrown, but the incredible views of Kualoa Ranch and the windward coast make this challenging ridge worth it.

Shaded ridge with beautiful foliage that provides a great escape from the bustle of touristy Lahaina.

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!

A spin off from the popular Kuli'ou'ou Ridge, this hike includes some steep scrambles and narrow sections. A great advanced ridge intro.

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