Hawaii's Hidden Beauties

Living in paradise ... it definitely has it's perks!

Lately I have been exploring the island a little more through hiking.

Let me be clear... I am by no means an avid hiker!

However, hiking makes me feel as if I've earned these views a little...  

My new mantra lately has been "I can do hard things."

Which I must tell myself repeatedly when the going gets rough. 


Koko Head... In my humble opinion, this is the hardest hike I've done on island.  Gorgeous views, obviously... But I have a 50% finishing ratio when I do this hike!  

This particular picture was taken on an evening I was unable to finish the hike, due to an injury at the top.  First responders were turning all the hikers around.  

Still - an amazing sunset!




Olomana Trail, or three peaks ... It was a hazy day, but the view was still incredible. 

Very steep trail, intense.  

Definitely felt the burn!







Moanalua Trail... Full of Hawaiian History, old ruins, and beautiful bridges. 

Glad I have had the opportunity to hike these wonderful trails with my dear friend Rachel!
