K. Falcon convinced Rach and I to go on this hike with her, Dave, Jen, and John. I was told that it was an intermediate level 3.5 mile hike. Sounded good to me. Everyone knows I LOVE to get up early on the weekends and really just attack the day. Take this island by the horns and squeeze every last ounce of fun out of it.
Minor detail though: The hike was 3.5 miles...each way. And the ending point was on the top of this mountain ridge that I have always looked up at while driving and said to myself, "Gosh that looks so high. It's practically in the clouds. I wonder how anyone would ever get up there?"
It really wasn't that bad though. The first 3/4 of the way was a pretty easy stroll up some switchbacks. The last 1/4 or so was straight up this ridgeline. There were some stairs involved, and Rach almost passed out about 100 feet from the top.

One of the better pictures
You could see all the way from Kaneohe to Waimanalo to Koko Head to Hawaii Kai to Diamond Head. So, instead of posting a billion pics, here is a short video to give you an idea of the view (have to give Rach credit for the creative cinematic idea).
It was really windy up there and the audio didn't really do the scene justice, so I added a little Coldplay. (That's how Rach knows I'm gay...name that movie)
