I Iove that hike! - Josh Haley

Josh - for the effort - that hike has the best views! Almost anyone can do that hike. Still take water, wear sunscreen. And doing any hike on the island is best early morning or late day when it cools off. - Arleen Boyd

Yeah, at the summit, you can pretty much see Kailua and Waimanalo at the same time, the hike back affords great views of Koko Crater, Koko head and most of Hawaii Kai. It's a chore, but it's worth it. :) I actually found a website my friends made from when we did that, back in 97 sheesh! 12 years? http://www.rcarchive.com/hhg... - Josh Haley

Thanks for sharing that site of your hike Josh! You might want to come join us one Sat. morning on one of ours. I'm not in good shape (yet) Though I did climb Koko Crater! Whooped my rear... was sore and hurting for 5 days! But, now I'm getting in better shape. This was the 2nd time climbing Kamehame, & this time I stopped just once on the way up and not at all coming down. (Except to take pics!) - Arleen Boyd

I would love to hike O'ahu again, TRUST me, but I live on the mainland now. :p I used to live right there at the bottom of Kamehame ridge in Hawaii Kai, but spent most of my hanna-batta days in Makiki. I was a townie. Now I stay in da kine suburbia north-east of Houston. :p - Josh Haley
