Comments on: Lanipō Trail http://www.hawaiistories.com/eric/2004/11/27/lanipo/ Life in Honolulu: it's not all pineapples and mai tais.

I tried three times within the span of just as many weeks a couple of months ago, and only got to the point where it gets steep. I did Pu'u Manamana and Mt Ka'ala with no real difficulty; but for some reason, this one always denies me the summit. Oh well. I did finally see the Ka'au crater for myself, which was the primary reason I wanted to go on this hike. I swear this hike is cursed for me!

And I wasn’t able to do a very good job of swiveling in place with the cell phone, so Autostitch was only able to recognize and stitch together the first 4 shots out of an intended 7-shot panoramic. I have better photos from my first and second times on this same trail.

It was a very hot day, and unfortunately I dropped my gatorade bottle which spilled out at around Point C (as referenced in Stewart Ball's "Hiker's Guide to O'ahu"). I was forced to turn around and head back. My goal was to see the Ka'au crater. Dang!! Your pictures are amazing!! I'm happy to see them. There really aren't many pictures available of that crater, and I wanted to see it for myself. I'll do that one again. It will have to wait as this Tuesday some of my friends and I are going up to Mt Ka'ala via Waianae. Anyway, I really do like your website. I attempted that hike back in August 2006.

It’s been almost two years since my first time on that trail, and more than six months since the last time I did a Koʻolau ridge hike. Oh, my aching thighs. For the next three or four days I winced as I climbed up and down stairs, and when I got into and out of chairs. [...] […] Last Sunday I hiked the Lanipō Trail, above Kaimukī.

If I were a pro, maybe. But I put almost zero photography skill into that shot; it's the view that makes it so gorgeous. And the view is what it is. Anybody can see it, if they're willing to put in a few hours of sweat. Heh. If I were a pro, maybe. But I put almost zero photography skill into that shot; it’s the view that makes it so gorgeous.
