Traveling to Ka'ena point from either the west side of the Island or from the North Shore offers a scenic hike along the coast. Having done both, I would recommend coming in from the North Shore. The only problem coming in from the East Side as opposed to the west is the Jeeps. During the weekends they must rent a ton of jeeps and you have to share the hiking trail with...
I want to begin by pointing out that I learned about this trail from EveryTrail member Chris. Without his helpful advice and great pictures I wouldn't have attempted this. You can find his guide here:http://www.everytrail.com/view_trip.php?trip_id=510342Most of what has been said about this trail was posted in the details by Chris. I will see that the trail is very tough and steep. The payoff is beautiful views but it can be dangerous at...
Koko Head Trail is one of those trails where you ask yourself, "Why am I doing this again?" I am not sure of the numbers of steps it takes to get up to the top but it's a lot.

A guard will give you a red pass and tell you not to drive off and look around.Parking isn't so bad and they let overfill park on the streets. The parking lot area had a lot of...
This trail is a break off from the Manana trail, which offers you the choice of either the ridge or the waterfall.We set out at around 9am and it wasn't to hot. You can't park in the roundabout before the trail so you have to park on the street. The trail starts off with power lines and open vistas of the surrounding valleys. It's paved in the beginning and can be slightly misleading on...
Beale Falls is known by a few other names but for anyone stationed on Beale AFB we just call it "Beale Falls". It's a bit tucked away in the Spenceville area and you have to make sure not to make the trip during the turkey hunting season or they will turn you away.Driving here you will pass by a shooting range and go over a one lane bridge. You will probably never...
