This past weekend James and I decided to go on a hiking trip. There are tons of hiking trails around Oahu, especially with the beautiful mountain ranges! James took me hiking up a trail he did with his unit a couple months back called Kealia Trail. We entered on the northwest side of the island, but supposedly you can enter on the west side as well. One of my fears of hiking in Hawaii is the mosquitoes. Yuck! Get them away. Thankfully, this trail had no mosquitoes and another plus is that it was shaded throughout most (if not the entire) part of the trail.
We parked our car over by the glider port area and then walked 10 minutes to the head of the hiking trail. From there, we entered "military training area" and began our hike. Since it was the weekend and relatively early, we didn't encounter a lot of people which was nice. We hiked for about 1.5 hours up the trail....and it was up....all the way till we reached a view of the valley. I love seeing all the green. Of course, it was a lot easier to go back. :) All in all, I think the hike was about 6 miles round trip.
Next time, I want to go over to the west side of the island and run the trail to the lighthouse and back. They say it's a 10 mile round trip run. Should be fun! :)
