On Saturday I did another KOSC hike. Only one person showed with her husband… I’m getting a little frustrated by lack of attendance. All the same, I LOVED the hike! It’s paved the first mile or so and decently steep. You work your way through a thick tree mangrove and get to the swing about 1.8 miles in.

After climbing and another three tenths of a mile or so there’s a clearing with a view into a beautiful valley.

This hike is only accessible through a small base that has a military hospital called Tripler. This means less hikers and plenty of parking without worry of being broken into. Here’s a photo of the pink hospital.

We went just over two miles in, but the elevation was 950ft. It made for a short and sweet climb. The wind was nice but borderline gusty at times and I wouldn’t have wanted to do any ridge walking (thankfully we didn’t need to)
