Palolo Video ( Mere & The Hui )

Palolo Waterfalls With The HUI

Okay , just wanted to do a fast coverage of this hike located at the top of Waiomao Road in the lush valley of Palolo. MY STOMPING GROUNDS !

Headed out with a crew of 10 on Saturday morning and had an awesome time. Aside from Fenai's joking around all day to Jerney & Braddah swinging around in the tree's. Im so glad I didnt go on this hike with a hangover because knowing my fat ass, I wouldve ended up over the cliff.

Anyways , got out to the valley parking about 8:30 am and we were suppose to meet up with ( W.H.O.R.E.S.) But I earlier had tex Ginger to notify her that we'd be a half hour late due to me needing a coffee and a gas station stop.

The trailhead to this hike is located down a mud like path right after the house on the right hand side. Its not very visable from the parking area , you need to walk in closer to be able to see the path which will lead you down a set of ropes and it gets really muddy & slippery here. Just keep in mind that the entire trail is the conditions of an actual pig pen so trust me , you will get very wet & dirty. ( So keep a sense of humor ) ....

After about 45 minutes you will arrive at the first waterfall. Enroute to the first is area's that are a one footed trail; where you will have no other choice but to grab on to the grass and branches hanging from the cliffside to cross these area's. You will find that on this trail there is really no time to enjoy the senic views because of it being more of an intermediate / advanced hike. Please take caution as the ground in certain area's do give away and there are dips & holes in area's we normally take for grated there would be footing.

The waterfall back here rarely hits dryspells so you are guarantied to have the most awesome view of a waterfall that is full flowed. There is a swimming hole , however I would not recommend jumping as it is very shallow.

We did our swimming and had some lunch and continued on to the second waterfall which after a rope climb or two upward you will find is right atop the first waterfall. Some of the crew continued on to the third, but because of my hike 2 days prior I decided to stop here and turn around. My legs were still hurting from Pupukea and really with all the mudd on me, my only thought was to head over to Makapuu to jump in and swim.

We got back to the parking in about 1-2 hours.

I do however regret that I did not continue on to the Crater was my tru intent of this hike. However I will return in the distant future to cover this one.

I am working on travel plans with the Hui to get me the hell off this rock for some Big Island Waterfall trailing as I will be taking a trip to check on my 2 properties there next month.

Big Island is an adventure of its own , keeping in mind that those grounds are very sacred and rooted for me. Eventually I will end up moving to Kona as most of my investments are on that island. Hopefully I will remain in top conditions as I so look foward to the valleys of Waipio and the vocanic tubes of Kilauea. Leaves me in a dreamlike state of what lays ahead for me. Not to mention the most beautiful uncharted waterfalls in the state.

Anyways fellow hikers & bloggers, PALOLO VALLEY WATERFALLS , a tad bit liferisking ( Just up my alley ) really muddy and wet ( Not Quite To My Liking ) Majectic waterfalls ( Lovely Absolutely ) like I always say , if at first you dont succeed "Dust Yourself Off And Try Again" ...

HAPPY HIKING ..... Remember to Malama The Aina, Respect & Dont Touch shit that wasnt meant for you to touch ! Come across "The Night Marchers" just remember ... BUTT NAKED, FACE TO THE GROUND TIL THEY PASS , And dont look back .... If you look back , oh well ... thats what we call destiny ... And Im off to work , PEACE !! :)

Kaulana Trail & Koolau Summit

Its been awhile fellow bloggers but Im back and after a couple months of straightning things out in my life Im ready to hike again. So ladies where do I start , I firstly want to dedicate this blog to my daughter who has faithfully through-out the years been hiking along side me. This year she will be attending Kalani High School and leaving her mother behind to persue her educational goals as a Falcon Senior, which I am 100% behind her. She will be missed as she has been someone who's always prep trail activities for me, printed out our maps, packed our gear and she's been on uncharted trails with me . When it comes to things that are very near and dear to me , she knows it all. Well atlease theres still the phone so I can call her while Im standing in clouds. That thought is very comforting ... She always worries for me and has been preventing me from doing the long coveted trail of Sacred Falls which now that she wont be here to worry so much, I will do. Sorry baby , I just gotta ... :)


This Saturday we will be trailing Kaunala Trail which is located on the Northern Shore of Oahu.

Directions: Continue south bound toward Sunset Beach and eventually you will reach an intersection that Foodland and Starbucks is located across from Sharks Cove. Take a right at that intersection and continue straight up to the very top of that hill. You will see the entrance to the trailhead located on the right side of the boyscout campgrounds. You can park anywhere along side that roadway.








Because I have another agenda in regards to some other trails I frequent in this area. I just wanted to cover the proper entrance to the trailhead , humidity in the elevation and things to bring because it is a 9 mile round trip hike.

The trailhead is well marked and also very clear , I would recommend being that its is July, to wear something cool. Bring lots of water and maybe even some swimwear because there is a river that runs thru here. So where there is water you know we'll be swimming. There is a second entry gate which is located about 15 - 20 minutes into this hike and that is the actual trailhead leading to Koolau Summit which my coverage ended today , just to get info into that point. There are signs posted everywhere that warn the public that acsess is only granted thru the Army and there is a sign that designates where to go for the permit. So everything looks clear for us. Remember to pack alot of water , bring a flashlight just incase we dont make it out in time, bug spray and dont forget to get rest cause Im back & were moving & shake'n people. Loves to all .... Here's the pix I got ....
