I only slipped once.

Looking inland to some of the mountain ridges on the island, I ventured off to get above sea level and get a birds eye view of the area. Hawaii has some great hikes. There's never one too far out of the way.

They usually end up at some hidden waterfall, scenic vantage point, a crater or your local neighbourhood active volvanoe. There's only one way to describe it, Hawaii's Hiker Heaven - alliteration intended!

Just showing some GoPro love.

One of Lanikai's hikes is a trail to the WWII war bunkers that were used as lookouts as a place to  scan for oncoming Japanese forces. Called the pillboxes they still stand as though ever watchful along the peaks of the mountain. It isn't a long trail, but it gets quite steep. From up here you get the rewarding sight of the bays and reefs below and out to the Mok's, the two small outlying islands right off the coast.
