Finally finished Pu’u Ma’eli’eli

If you recall, I had attempted this hike once before. It was after a heavy rain and with three kids and their mom, we did not make it all the way before sunset. It has been abnormally dry here, so the path that was once a slip and slide is a mere crackly/dry hard path and it went much better.

It took us all of 35 minutes to get to the top.

Looking out toward MCBH

Looking North toward China man’s hat. Really loved this trail when it was dry!! It was medium difficulty but rewarding, I could go pretty fast without slipping. Rewarded with great views. It was covered so it wasn’t super hot. Definitely got bit by a couple mosquitos, but then I put on bug spray. It wasn’t crowded at the top and we saw only one couple on their way down. We saw a bunch on their way up when we were going down, maybe after work warriors.
