October 2023 early morning hike on Oahu, HI.
Great hike, but aren’t they all!
To beat the heat I started as early as I could for this one. The parking is at the little airport. The gate is not open until 0700. I was there earlier and someone had already arranged for the gate to be open for their group, I lucked out. So, at about 0630 I headed up.
One of the things I noticed about this trail was the change in the vegetation from the base up to the top. It was like layers of separate climes, one above the other.
I drank ~3 liters of water on this hike plus added electrolytes. If I do this hike again I will make sure to drink at least a liter more.
