Maunawili Falls Hike

Just one of my goals for the year....get outdoors more! We do live in "paradise", so why not take advantage of it???

So...here's our first hike of the year...

-just the beginning-

-about half way to the falls-

My oldest son & I....with the Ko'olau Mountains in the background.

-he was so proud of this "walking stick" he found-

-slippery rocks!-

-Maunawili Falls-

Not a very good shot of the falls, I know...but it's the best i could do with all the tourists around.

& they were crazy tourists too!! As you can see the falls ain't flowing so much, which means that the pool isn't so deep. Duh! & these crazy tourists were jumping in from like 20 ft. up! Not to mention they didn't have the proper technique! Ha!

-on our way back out-

& let me just say...these are not "normal" sized stairs. At least not for me! Ha! I literally had to bring my knee all the way up to my chest! Needless to say...I was huffin' & puffin'!

-just me-

It was a great hike! It only took us about 2 hours round trip and was fairly easy, except...for those darn stairs!! But hopefully we can keep it up! Our plan is to hike every saturday. This time was just a couple of us girlfriends and my son. Next time maybe the husbands will tag along! We'll see! They can be so lazy! Lol!
