Sunrise!

I photographed this for my friend, Leslie, a couple of mornings ago but I decided I would post this on here as well - hope you will enjoy a hawaiian sunrise from my lanai!

The Impossible Climb

A hike/climb up the Ko'olau from the east facing side of the island with an elevation gain greater than eight football fields and physically challenging to climb and even more difficult to descend. Hiking in the islands is unlike any hikes I've done elsewhere ... if you have some great hikes, let me know!

Spider Women

Two things I always bring on hikes such as this, a rope and a first aid kit. Its steep, and it brings unimaginable fears to those afraid of heights, but fear is temporary, and once you get to the top, the views are just as spectacular and memorable as the climb itself. This is one of my "introductory" hikes I like to do when time is short and you're looking for a quick fix of adrenaline. This photo was taken Sunday morning at ~8:30 in the morn.
