Hikers that hike on weekends in Oahu.
Every now and again I get asked questions about hikes I’ve documented or if I know of any upcoming group hikes. I try my best to answer questions on trails but I know there are many folks out there that are more knowledgeable. And for group hikes I typically refer folks to the Hawaii Trail and Mountain Club (HTMC) website. But now, there’s another resource: the “Oahu Weekend Hikers” group on Facebook . What a perfect name.
I was added to the group by avid hiker Baron Yamamoto a few weeks ago. He and Giovanni Acosta are the creators and group admins. What I like about this group is that it’s active. (It’s currently much more active than the HTMC Facebook group.) Got a question? Post it and a bunch of people will try to answer. Group hikes are even organized through this Facebook group. Some hikes are open to all but some, because of their difficulty level, must be invite-only. Safety first folks.
If you’re looking to meet some local hikers, check this group out. Share stories and photos of a hike you just did or chime in on a conversation about a trail you’re interested in. I chatted with Baron before posting this and he confirmed that this is an open group and he encourages you to join.

If you know of any other open Hawaii hiking groups on Facebook, feel free to drop a comment. I’m sure interested hikers will appreciate it.

Great site, quiet envious of your photos especially since I just moved to Oahu a month ago.
Another active hiking group I’ve found: http://www.meetup.com/oahu-hikers-adventurers/
I’ve yet to go one of their hikes, but have heard good things from the photographers I hang out with.
