The Hiking HI

Spreading the aloha one hike at a time!

Mar 18

PALI PUKA

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

Mar 18

LAIE FALLS

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

Mar 16

WEST KULI'OU'OU RIDGE

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

Mar 15

PU'U OHULEHULE--NORTHWEST RIDGE

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

Mar 14

MAHANA RIDGE TRAIL--MAUI

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

Mar 11

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!

Mar 6

PU'U O KONA via KULI'OU'OU RIDGE

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

Mar 3

STAIRWAY TO HELL

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