Hiking with Nate again in Waihe'e Valley
Upper Hamama & Waihe'e Falls - July 5, 2014 Although it was great to see both the upper sections of Hamama and Waihe'e falls, the purpose of today's hike was to hike with Nate again. It is so good to see old hiking partners. My last hike with Nate was Bear Claw Right Fork. After that hike, he went to boot camp in Chicago and I haven't seen him until today. Nate currently lives in San Diego and is in active duty military. He does not plan to come back to Hawaii. Today I took him to Hamama and Waihe'e falls, two waterfalls that are easy enough for both of us. However, the upper sections which I did with the group 7D takes a bit more hiking skills. We got to Hamama rather quickly and proceeded to the upper falls. It was somewhat slick, but with focus and determination, we got to the top of Hamama rather quickly. I knew Hamama was fed by a natural spring, but seeing it up close was pretty cool. It seems that the spring produces tons of water to make the waterfall...
