Lanai Exploration 2013



It’s been awhile since I’ve been to Lanai, probably > 20 years to be more precise… so as you can imagine, I could only remember a very few things about it. For one, I remember “swimming with sharks” at some tourist trap (that really did not deliver what the brochure depicted whatsoever)…and secondly, doing a […]

Black Canyon, Nevada/Arizona (Pt 3 of 3)



[Part 1] [Part 2] [Part 3] On our final day, we left the Arizona Hot Springs campsite around 930am in search of a couple more notable adventures we highlighted on our map… The Catwalk and the Emerald Cave. There were a ton of other things to see on the way down river, for instance, waterfalls […]

Kaluakauila Loop, West Oahu



I haven’t hiked much on any of the west-side ridges lately, maybe because I was mentally scarred for how long and hot “Ohikilolo to Three Corners” was last year, haha. However, Pete was looking for someone to hike with and scout out a new route he hadn’t done before… and for those who don’t know, […]

Kayaking to Kapapa Islet, Kaneohe Bay



Kapapa Islet is a low-elevation, 9.5 acre island on the edge of Kaneohe Bay (see map / inset, below). It is located ~2.0 miles from shore, and is ~1.25 miles from the popular sandbar (Ahuolaka Island) in the center of the bay. With a crew 6 strong (Justin, Meg, Aaron, Lynne, Katie and I), we […]

Hanakapiai Falls, Na Pali Coast (Kauai)



Though most of us were exhausted from arduous hike into Blue Hole the day prior, we summoned the energy to drive up to the north shore to hike the Na Pali coastline to Hanakapiai beach and waterfall. Although, I haven’t hiked along the Na Pali coast for some time, the hike was still fresh in […]

Kalepa Ridge, Kokee (Kauai)



I was kind of bummed when the group leader (Baron Yamamoto) said we (Steve Decker, Katie Ersbak, Jenny Ersbak, Daniel Hu, Aaron Toma, Lynne Honda and myself) were gonna go back to Kokee (Koke`e) to hike Kalepa Ridge (ridge west of Kalalau Valley), especially since it’s far away from most of the other hikes we […]

Sunset and Moonrise from Polihale Beach – Kokee 2012 (Pt 4/4)



After a great day of hiking and relaxing at our cabin, a few of us (Steve, Clayton, Suzette, Katie, Jenelyn and I) took a road-trip down from Kokee to Polihale Beach. The beach is the furthest west on the island you can travel by vehicle, though it requires some off-roading and four-wheel drive. Luckily, we […]

Honopu Ridge Trail – Kokee 2012 (Pt 1/4)



Although not the most well-kept of trails we visited during our Kokee 2012 camping trip, Honopu Ridge probably had one of the most rewarding views. The trail starts along Kokee Road, slightly north of the Awaawapuhi Trail, with enough room for a few cars to park at the unmarked trailhead. After settling into our (Baron […]
