Hawaii Loa Ridge


 We began our trek through a strawberry guava forest with the path lined with moss





 This tree appeared to be completely suspended in the air





 Ascending into the cloud line





 A look back down the ridges to the sea





 Peering northeast from the summit





 Looking down the STEEP slope in front of the summit





 Two happy hikers just lucked out with the break in the clouds





 A look down toward Waimanalo side





 Back down through the clouds we go





 Waikiki visible in the distance











 Skink!











Of course, we have to have an Ohia Lehua shot...

Another fun Oahu ridge





 I love the cloud line here





 This trail had so many natural picture frames





 Topside view of Niu Valley





 Plenny orchids here
