The Hiking HI

Spreading the aloha one hike at a time!

Mar 29

KAUNALA LOOP to PUPUKEA SUMMIT TRAIL

Where the Ko'olaus begin (or end), trek through the northernmost portion of this iconic Oahu mountain range.

Mar 28

MANANA RIDGE TRAIL

Slow and steady wins this race. At 12 miles, this lengthy ridge is an endurance challenge, but worth it for those Ko'olau summit views.

Mar 26

MANOA MIDDLE RIDGE

Upper intermediate ridge near Honolulu, with 360 degree summit views on a clear day. Connect it to Mount Olympus for some KST traverse fun.

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 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.

BOWMAN TRAIL

Long, grueling ridge to the Ko'olau summit. Expect a few scrapes and muddy shoes, but also some great views on this tough ridge.

WAILUPE LOOP TRAIL

Some good views, a bit of KST traverse hiking, and a solid workout, this loop is great for those looking to explore a trail less travelled.

WAIMANO RIDGE TRAIL

At 15 miles, this is one of the longest ridge hikes on Oahu. Bring snacks, friends, and maybe some tunes for this endurance challenge.
