Hiking Trails on Oahu

Pu'u Ohulehule - January 31, 2015 One of the most rewarding hikes on the island, Pu'u Ohuluhule on a clear day rivals any view on this island. Darren wanted to take Sarah and Bernice on this hike for the past two weeks, but cancelled because of bad weather. I was able to hike today, so earlier in the week I posted to see what hike we would schedule, this one came up as the #1 option. Although I wouldn't mind doing Ohulehule, I have done this hike multiple times already and really didn't want to do it again. But since none of OAG have done it, I was game to go. Today's hike consisted of OAG ~ Darren, Sarah, and Bernice. Also joining was Katie and Ryan. We met at the Kahana parking lot at 8am. We saw Scott B. and his friend Mike. I jokingly asked Darren did you invite Scott? He laughed. Must have been a coincidence, Scott would do Ohuluhule the same time as us. As we started, everyone looked at me for guidance because I was the only one who did the hike befor...

Pu’u Ohulehule – June 17, 2012 I’ve always wanted to get to the pyramidal peak that dominates Kahana Valley. To get there becomes a story of determination and will. Marvin invited a few Oahu Weekend Hikers (OWH) members. Joining Marvin and I were Aaron, Thessa, and Lynne. No doubt, they have done and can handle this hike. The route today was up the Northwest ridge. There is also the Southeast ridge which Stuart Ball deems the, “the most dangerous hike on the island”. Doing the Southeast ridge today was 7D Steve. The goal was to meet up with Steve at the top of Ohulehule. Also, we were joining HTMC today as this was on their schedule. We started on the Nakoa trail and immediately crossed the Kahana dam. From there we went off the Nakoa trail and into a bamboo forest for near a mile and a few more stream crossings along the way. We eventually hit the northwest ridge of Ohulehule. Then it was incline hiking through a clear path surrounded by uluhe ferns. HTMC cleared the trail a few weeks...
