Aiea Loop Trail W/Plane wreckage Oahu hikes

Aiea Loop Trail

Did this hike with a new meetup.com group. Started in the lower trail and made our way back to the top trail.

WW II Plane wreckage

Or whatever's left of it. Too bad people couldn't resist in tearing and scavenging the plane apart. From what I heard if you hike down that slope, you may find some additional engine/plane parts. Maybe next time since I was in a group.

The famous H3 pic

The path to Kalauao Falls?

Found on the beginning top part of the trail

So it was a nice 2.5 hr hike overall though it rained on and off so it was muddy. You get to see the H3 and see a small part of the plane wreckage if you simply stay on the path. From what I gathered, you do need to hike down that slope to find extra bits and pieces of the plane. When you reach the top part of the loop (this is where people usually begin the hike though we did the bottom first), you find the memorial plaque for those that perished in the wreckage. Also if you started at the top, you will find a pathway to your left about 15 mins in. I do believe that is the path to Kalauao falls which is another 3-4 hr hike I heard. Anyhow, have a nice day.

Today in Oahu, Hawaii 6/30/20: Laie Point Sea Arch, Sunset Beach, Sharks Cove, Laniakea Beach, and Haleiwa Alii Beach.

La'ie Point (La'ie Point State wayside Park) Tamron Lens shot 70-300mm Tamron Lens shot 70-300mm Tamron Lens shot 70-300mm Ditto on the Tamron Also known as "Lizard Rock." There is a story behind this but I won't divulge into it. You can look this up online. I finally got a chance to check this place out. A very nice scenery with a small parking lot. Also folks, try to park in a fashion where others can park and enjoy the view as well. There was a car that literally, in a sense, double parked (took up lots of space) forcing me to nearly park near an edge. Please be courteous to others. We want to enjoy the view and grab memories as well. Sunset Beach A shot under the tree A shot under the tree: the opposite direction As you enter the beach, to your right is the famous 100 year old tree that everybody sits and takes a pic with despite a sign telling you to not sit on it.

Fairbanks, Alaska 3/6-3/9

Here was the ender to my trip before my return to HNL. First time to Alaska and hopefully it won't be my last. Santa Claus House Possibly the best place to shop for gifts if you are near here. It's about 20-25 mins south of Fairbanks. Antler Arch The museums here are free. Take advantage. The arch was close by as well. Ice Museum Fairbanks $15. Good for family, couple, or group pics. Regardless, there is a slide here that is worth the admission. Around the area, there is a Moldovan restaurant named Soba. It was my first time and worth the try! Pioneer Park Closed during these times, its a neat touristy spot to walk your legs. You can walk inside but most shops and attractions are closed however. Come during summer. Pikes Waterfront Lodge This was the place where I initially wanted to stay at first but Airbnb often provide cheaper results. The Love Alaska sign is here and there are some ice sculptures as well. I say this is the hotel that is worth a see if you are here. My ...

Makiki Valley secret waterfall Oahu hikes

Because it's considered a secret I can not divulge how to get there. If you recognize some of the landmarks in my pics, then it should be good enough to tell you where it is. The waterfall is found in Makiki Valley loop trail so good luck. It is roughly about 20-30 mins in from the entrance. I did this with the meetup.com crew. So enjoy the pics. If you find it then good for you. And remember to keep it a secret. The waterfall Enjoy. It's a nice scene if you do find it. You can hike to the top of the fall in which I did. It's like several minutes if anything from the bottom. Just always watch your footing. Take care folks. Thank you God and thank you to the meetup.com crew. Laters.
