[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 […]

[Part 1] [Part 2] [Part 3] Shortly after setting off from Boyscout Canyon in our trusty aluminum Jerkwater Canoe, we arrived at some of the more popular areas in Black Canyon: Whiterock Canyon and Arizona Hotsprings. Though there were two distinct canoe landings for each area, there seemed to be a contour trail on a […]

[Part 1] [Part 2] [Part 3] Itching to get back to the mainland for some adventures, I decided to meet up with my buddy Luke and his girlfriend Meri in Las Vegas. They’d moved there from Hawaii a little over a year ago, and hike regularly in the area. Although Meri was not able to […]

[Part 1] [Part 2] [Part 3] [Part 4] On the final day of our Molokai Trip, we booked a guided tour in Halawa Valley in East Molokai… which was the only way for us to legally access the valley. We were fortunate enough to see both waterfalls in the valley as well as learn about […]

[Part 1] [Part2] [Part 3] [View Gallery] As I mentioned in my earlier posts from this series, Joshua Tree is renowned for it’s superb climbing areas. The rock features here may not be as high as the ones you would find at Yosemite, but they were still amazing in their own right. The rocks at […]

[Part 1] [Part2] [Part 3] [View Gallery] Hiking in Joshua Tree National Park was not as aesthetically impressive or exciting as the trails at Yosemite I visited last week… so I’m probably not going to detail much here. There are several hiking trails within the park, most of which are short and can be done […]

[Part 1] [Part 2] [Part 3] [Part 4] [Part 5] [View Gallery] Yosemite Valley is recognized as one of the most popular climbing areas in the United States, and is heavily responsible for the development of climbing as a sport. Of the many sites to boulder in Yosemite, Camp 4 (where we camped) is probably […]

[Part 1] [Part 2] [Part 3] [Part 4] [Part 5] [View Gallery] Yosemite Falls is the largest two-tiered falls in North America, having a total height of 2425 feet (lower falls not shown). The upper falls is 1430 feet alone, and is the sixth largest waterfall in the world (shown above). After a cold night […]

Fairly new to rock climbing and only bouldering outdoors a few times, I was honored to be invited to a night-climb at a remote bouldering site, called “The Green Boulders” in Mokuleia (see above for name significance). We (David, Reanne, Ken, Wayne, Phil, Cat and myself) met up at Joe’s house in Waialua to consolidate […]

Instead of doing a normal hiking adventure on Sunday, the Lost Trailblazers (Troy Takara, Dale Acoba, David Chatsuthiphan, Reanne Solomon, Jenelyn Castillo and myself, as well as guests Baron Yamamoto and Rosanna Ho) decided to revisit Mokuleia Crag, as it had been almost six months since all of us had climbed here together. That was […]
