Hiking Trails on Oahu

  Pali Puka to Lanihuli – August 25, 2013 I thought I’d never again do a hike this dangerous. Today, I did. This hike is seriously very high on the danger level. I do not condone anyone to do a hike like this. The crossover has obstacles and the ridge is razor thin. Jay invited a group of great hikers via facebook. Joining the group today was Jay, Agnes, Dave F., Pip, Sara “The SharkCaller”, & OAG members – Erik, Darren & myself.  The plan today was to start at the Pali Lookout, go left up the ridge towards the Puka, climb up towards the crest, tackle major obstacles on a thin ridge, continue towards Lanihuli, and come down the Alewa trail.

Only because, we can. Joining the crew today was OAG- Erik, Aprille, Darren, Janice, Sarah, Allison, the Great Dave F. and his trusty companion Kona Dog. We started a little before 7am. The weather was bad, overcast skies and rain. We pushed it up the steep road and in 1 ½ hours we got to Peacock Flats. At the campgrounds, we took a break at a bench while it poured cats n dogs.
