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 ....
