hey jon, i would say anything over intermediate is not really recommended for kids under 7, especially if they haven't tried hiking before. i would say a 1 to 2 hour hikes would be appropriate for kids. so to answer your question, this particular hike is not suitable for kids.
we can do that camp timberline trail again hopefully on the next one so you guys can bring your family and kids.

Ok, for those of you who are getting ready for this... i am contemplating on 2 trails.
1. Mt. Koahuinui - this is the highest point of the Koolau Mountain Range. We will be starting at the Tantalus trail (Kalawahine trail) and park there. The hike is approximately 2.5 hours in and probably 2 hours back. Expect spectacular views once we get to the main trail after Pauoa Flats lookout.
2. Or we can do the ultimate challenge... The Stairway to Heaven via Tripler Ridge. I will not even try to describe this hike. Let me know what you guys think...

Ok, it's final.
The hike will be the Stairway to Heaven via the Middle Ridge.
We will be joining another group that I regularly hike with. This will be the first time that we will be going thru the Middle Ridge but it should be shorter than going thru the Tripler Ridge.
We are finalizing the headcount so please let me know ASAP if you are interested. We need to coodinate transportation and pick up since this is a one way hike.
So far I have Joey H, Jon, Jimmy, Wunder, and tesh. We don't need a big group so if this is it, please confirm your spot. This may be your once in a while guided tour for an epic hike.

I will do my best to make it out there, one of my good buddies is trying to arrange something that day which may take priority. I really wanna do this hike as I have heard it is one of the harder ones and also to get to know some of the fellow i-clubbers.

like i keep telling you, you will always be wondering what's out there...you keep bugging me to take you hiking, well here's your chance.
going up/down the stairs is the easy part. it's getting up there that's the challenging part. but let me know at least by Monday if you will be making it out.

My Girlfriend and I have been wanting to do Stairway to Heaven but have other plans in the afternoon.
What time will you guys be starting and what time do you think we will all get back?

ted. you got my number. i rarely log in now. text me or call me to give me the details. because I won't be able to bring the kids on this one... I'll have to make arrangements for this to happen. the earlier i know the better. if not i'll probably have to wait for the next round for this hike.

BTW, It's Monday and I'm finalizing the list. Some guys couldn't make it so I'm taking a couple more members in who expressed interest. If I did not hear back from you, then I assume that you are not interested. And for those who responded back via posts, pm and text, then here's the current list:
Jon
Jimmy
Deraj_53
maxboost81
Roel - 49_STi and gf
For now, this is the most that i can take with me, so if any of you will be cancelling, please let me know ASAP as i have some other members who are still in the waiting list. I will be posting some final instructions with regards to transportation among other important details shortly.
