The Hiking HI

One way trek up "Stairway to Heaven" and down an ungraded Ko'olau finger ridge. Challenging, sketchy, beautiful, and full of drama.

A quick burner that will get you to Ko'olau summit without too much drama. Catch it on a clear day and you will be happy you made the trek.

More of a workout than a hike, climb >1000 stairs to the summit of this volcanic crater. Make sure you warm up before this leg burner.

A very short scramble up a small "mauna" on the coast of western Oahu. May not be a long one, but those coastal sunset views can't be beat.

Beautiful hike through the lands of the earliest Polynesian settlers to a secluded waterfall and swimming hole. Guide required.

Mostly paved hike in Kaneohe that takes you through Waihe'e valley and ends at a small waterfall. Perfect for a rainy day.

Short, shaded trail through a bamboo forest that leads to nice lookout of Kaneohe Bay. A nice capstone hike to a busy day.

A one way trek on seldom trafficked ridges filled with gnarly free climbs, narrow and crumbly rock and serious dropoffs. This is extreme.
