Hiking up Olomana always gives me that “Wow, I freakin’ live here [in Hawaii]” feeling. It’s an amazing hike and it’s only about 25 minutes away from my apartment. The trail takes you up the ridge of Mt. Olomana. There are three peaks to hike to. The first one is fairly intermediate to get to and is the most sceneic. You get a 360 degree view from the top. The second peak is a bit more intermediate of a hike. And the third peak is an advanced hike/climb. I have yet to do the third peak (keep running out of time) but when I do I will blog it immediately.

Update 4/25/2011: This is a very popular hike and a lot of people do it but it’s still very dangerous. There have been several news reports recently about hikers falling on this trail and being critically injured. Yesterday, someone fell 150 feet and died. If you have any doubt in your hiking/climbing ability, you may want to consider a different trail.
