Let's Hike in Hawaii

Why I like hiking? 
After my divorce in 2010.  I really needed a way to relax.  I love Oahu and to think of ever leaving this place is absolutely absurd ;).  It may be the busy capital island of the Hawaiian Island, but there are so many great way to experience this beautiful island instead of just going to Waikiki or hanging out in Honolulu.  One must appreciate where you live by embracing it, getting into it and enjoying it.

Hiking helped me to relax and remind me that everything is ok and will be ok. When I first started hiking it was just for to look at water falls.  Then I started hiking for the workout and the fantastic views.  Now I want to be able to hike as many hikes as I can around Oahu.  It is free so why not right (maybe some places you will have to pay for parking)?  Its a great way to workout.  Burn a lot of calories... at least that what is what my calorie counter told me ;)  Besides I need new ways to work out and lose more weight ;)

Here is a list of the other hikes I have done:

STAY SAFE!!!.  Read about your hike before you go.   Dont do illegal hikes or break the law.  Please follow the trails.  Tell someone your hiking.  I would not advise to go hiking alone.  You should hike during the day and when weather is nice, but the weather in Hawaii can be unpredictable.
