Valley to the Top

Last weekend I went on a hike with a friend from work and his father in-law. It was the best hike I have been on in quite a while. It was a full day of scrambling through brush and walking up a dubious trail, but it was an enjoyable trip. We started just outside Honolulu and walked about 7 miles to the windward side of the island. Hard boiled eggs, homemade chocolate/honey bread, and a camelbak full of water were keys to success.
Orchid? It was a bit wilted, but this was a first seen for me in Hawaii.

This is a hill, not a wall. Very steep with swirling winds at over 2000 ft. Fun.

The hill we ended on used to be some sort of communications station for the Coast Guard.
