If you are lucky, a few days in winter will allow you to witness the spectacle above. It may as be as clear as this day, but none-the-less, is still a gorgeous view. What am I talking about? If you haven’t recognized the landscape, its the full moonset (or near full) from Diamond Head Crater! […]

After a great hike at Kaau Crater Rim, the Lost Trailblazers (Seth Eason, Jen Liu, Reanne Solomon and I) decided to check out the Mu Ryang Sa (Brokem Ridge) Korean Temple in the back of Palolo Valley. The Buddhist temple is located on 2420 Halelaau Place, just off of Waiomao Road, and is open to […]

Combining valley, waterfall, ridge and summit hikes into one, Kaau Crater Rim Trail is by far one of my favorite trails on the island of Oahu. There are a couple different routes you can follow to hike in Palolo. (1) You can either go up to the summit via the valley trails to the waterfalls […]

After seeing a plethora of waterfalls at Moole Valley earlier, the three of us (Baron, Justin and I) headed to Manoa Valley to complete the “Waterfall Marathon” we set out to do that day. The main waterfalls included Luaalaea, Naniuapo and Waikeakua Falls… all of which are located east of the well known, Manoa Falls. […]

With the increased frequency and duration of rains in the past couple of weeks, waterfalls have been popular trend in the local hiking community. Instead of doing a rain dance, Baron Yamamoto invited me to do a “waterfall marathon” with him and his friend Justin Chu. Despite not knowing what to expect of a waterfall […]

I’ve always enjoyed night hikes, particularly during the full moon. There are a few trails that are friendly to hiking in the dark, one of them being Kamehame Ridge, or the ridgeline at the end of Kamehame Drive in Hawaii Kai. The road ends near the NIKE station, and joins with the Makapuu Tomtom Trail. […]

After watching an episode of Hawaii Goes Fishing on “Kayak Fishing,” I was quite eager to take my fishing-rigged kayak offshore on the Waianae Coast. If you saw that episode with the “AquaHunters“, I’m sure you’d have done the same… Packing ~ 20 frozen Halalu’s (juvenile Akule / Big-eye Scad) we caught a few weeks […]

The write-up isn’t that long… it’s just that I took way too many damn pictures, haha. Skip to the “Photo Gallery” if you’d like. Konahuanui is the highest point in the Koolau Mountain Range on the island of Oahu. The peak can accessed from almost any ridge trail in the Koolaus that intersect the Koolau […]
