Wiliwilinui Ridge Hiking Trail Oahu, Hawaii
Hawaii is an incredible place of beauty and adventure. Every time we visit, we crave for scenic and challenging adventures. Which is why the Wiliwilinui Ridge Hiking Trail Oahu, Hawaii is perfect to tackle! We start the day with a little sun and clouds hoping that the rain might stay away for today. I don’t know about you, but the word ‘ridge’ puts just a tiny bit of fear in me being this is the first time we’ve hiked this trail.
Getting There
Ignoring the on-slot of a bit of fear I had, we proceed to gather our water, hats, and other necessities, jumped in the car and drove towards East Honolulu area. Actually, the journey to get to the trail head was quite spectacular in itself.
We ended up cruising to higher altitudes through an upscale neighborhood of homes and hills. As we approached the trail head there was no a guard. So at this time, we proceed to park in the appropriate designated spots. Directions
The Trail
The clouds start to build up around us making for a possibly muddy, wet, and slippery hiking experience. Early in the hike, there is a beautiful canopy of trees of all sizes but mostly tall and large.
The wind began to swirl and howl making for an eerie stroll through this part of the trail. As we made our way through the tree tunnels, we encounter some of the challenges as well as the views from this trail. The steeper sections of the ridge continue closer and we use the ropes when needed to assist in the climb to the top.
Ropes and Mud
This part of the hiking trail offers a few challenges and obstacles. The rope is extremely helpful in climbing to the next part of the trail. This trail can be muddy and slippery when it rains, so take it slow and careful as you gradually make your way to the summit.
But don’t be in too much of a rush to make it to the top yet. You’ve got to experience the ledges and ridges that comprise this spectacular hiking trail. The further we venture up the trail, more and more pristine views begin to appear.
Views
Another view point on the Wiliwilinui Ridge Hiking Trail. The views and beauty of the trail aren’t the only things to be excited about. If you blink, you may miss some of the most beautiful plants and flowers. They are in abundance and on display on this adventure nature trail!
Soak It In
Be sure to take a rest on the ‘Swing’ and tree area. If you are hiking the trail on a weekday, you may be lucky enough to get a seat on the one lonely bench that sits at the summit of the trail. The views are incredible! Hang on to your hat as the winds can be quite wicked up at the top.
Summary
As you can see, there is plenty of adventure opportunities in Hawaii. There are so many different hiking trails that with every visit you will make new experiences! Of course, its even better if you are lucky enough to live there. Hawaii is so full of nature, landscapes, and stunning sunsets. I highly recommend this beautiful adventurous hiking trail if you are looking for unique things to do in Hawaii! Enjoy!
