The Hiking HI

Low-trafficked Ko'olau finger ridge with beautiful 360 summit views on a clear day. As a bonus, take the KST to the iconic haiku stairs.

A short hike on the exterior of volcanic crater to this cool-looking rock arch, with beautiful sights of the coast. A nice quick hiking fix.

Little known trail on windward Oahu with junctions to gems like "The Nipple," Sacred Falls, and the KST. A veteran hiker type of trail.

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

Paved trail that ends at a lookout of a lighthouse and Oahu's windward coastline. Bonus adventure to tide pools and a pillbox also possible.

Narrow ridges, a bit of scrambling, and epic windward and leeward summit views make this trail my go to quick(ish) hiking fix.

Split flow waterfall visible after heavy rains. Bring a GPS and some patience as you will probably get lost a few times...

Lesser known ridge which provides classic leeward views and bit of Ko'olau traverse hiking.
