A hiking group sounds fun
I know Amanda (svexy96) is a hiker too... where are you?
Favorite hike: Walk out to China mans hat at low tide than climb to the top
Hottest hike: Ka'ena point state park via Mokule'ia
Coolest hike: Jack *** Ginger Pool/ Nu'uanu trail
Safest hike: Aiea loop trail
I have yet to do much hiking on the Windward side, I am up for anything other than Stairway to Heaven.

WooHoo! Me and a friend were bored today, so we decided what the heck, lets trek up Mariner's Ridge! It was, for me, a lot harder then I thought it would be. We actually had to stop a couple of times on the steep parts. I cant believe how out of shape I am! But we made it to the top and back in about three hours. Here's some pics!
The last stretch to the peak, almost there!:
Almost at the top:
Finally at the top! Beautiful view of Waimanalo and Kailua/Lanikai beyond:
The Koolaus:
Peace from the top!:
All in all, fun day, and a great workout. Now I have to start training to get back in shape! I wanna do the other ridges, but if this is the easiest ridge, I've got a lot of work today! But hiking is great fun, we all gotta do this more!

damn, you are quick! i guess showing you those pics got you too excited. and i didn't say that this hike is gonna be easy. i said that this is the easiest way to the koolau mountains, but you will be sweating alright.... and yes, it's a pretty steep incline...almost all uphill.
