Aloha!
The Hawaiian Trail and Mountain Club, founded in 1910, leads hikes all over Oahu. They perform trail clearings and help both locals and visitors explore the island.
This Sunday, Oct 4th, HTMC will lead a hike around Tantalus Mountain. The trail is 6 miles long. It traverse a diverse, lush rain forest. At 1.5 miles there is a lookout of Nu’uanu Valley. Hikers can turn back at this point or continue, climbing a steep sloop and going down to explore Paoa Valley.
Kevin English, a local Rails hacker, surfer, and hiker, will help lead the hike.
If you are staying in Waikiki, it’s very easy to join the hike. Meet at Iolani Palace at 8am. For the full hike bring 2 liters of water and a lunch. It will take about 4-5 hours. If you are only interested in the short, flat portion of the hike, bring 1 liter of water and a snack. Call Kevin English at 271-5125 if you are coming, would like a ride, or have any questions about the hike.
