Angel’s Landing, Zion National Park – Utah (Pt 4 of 4)



[Part 1] [Part 2] [Part 3] [Part 4] [Hike Map] Another popular, more challenging trail that we visited in Zion was Angel’s Landing… or that’s what I had read online and been told by other hikers in the park. The switchbacking trail was paved for 80% of the way, which made the hike fairly quick. […]

Piliwale Ridge to Konahuanui to Lulumahu Ridge



Probably not the best day for a ridge hike or summiting the Koolaus, we (Baron Yamamoto, Joshua Serrano [808 Goonies], Jenelyn Castillo, Katie Ersbak and I) disregarded the high-wind advisory by weather forecasters and ascended Piliwale Ridge to reach Konahuanui (K1). We successfully descended via Lulumahu ridge, where we had staged a vehicle earlier in […]

Kilohana Lookout via Pihea and Alakai Swamp Trails- Kokee 2012 (Pt 3/4)



After a quick hike at and dip at the Sugi Grove, we set out on the nearby Pihea Trail as a means to intersect the Alakai Swamp Trail. Walking on the boardwalk through the fog/mist was a surreal experience, especially through such dense native forest. We continued on the boardwalk until we reached the Kilohana […]

Kaiwi Coastline Loop



“Makapuu lookout to Alan Davis” is a great hike, or any hike that involves the Kaiwi coastline for that matter. The route we (Reanne Solomon, Larry Tang, Rylan Miyasato, Troy Takara and I) took today is not conventional by any means, though I’m sure some people have connected these trails before. The particular combination of […]

Pali Puka to Lanihuli – September 11, 2011



Despite being one of the more extreme hikes on the island of Oahu, Pali Puka to Lanihuli was more of a mind game than anything else. Don’t get me wrong… the narrow ridgeline can be dangerous as hell, but minding what is in front of you rather than the 1000 foot drops on the side […]
