The Lost Trailblazer known as “Reannimal” was back in town temporarily from her recent employment translocation, and in request of a short and fun hike… Since she hadn’t been hiking for awhile, we decided on Kaupo Cliffs #3 to the Tomtom Trail for this particular sunny-weather Sunday. The loop-trail starts and finishes in Waimanalo (near […]

“Makapuu lookout to Alan Davis” is a great hike, or any hike that involves the Kaiwi coastline for that matter.

We wanted to complete the loop a few weeks ago, but the summer swells and tides have been working against us… thus we just decided to […]

Since we did a longer hike the previous day, the Lost Trailblazers decided to go on an easy adventure for the Memorial Day holiday. Not a difficult trail, if even considered one, the Makapuu Lighthouse Trail and Makapuu Tidepools are an easily accessible outdoor activity for people of all ages. Located East of Honolulu, the […]
