We did this trail for the first time last Tuesday May 24. After the trail head you will practically see the route you will be taking. This is a classic hike going up and down the valley ridges which make this hike fun. Climbing the boulders make this hike exciting for me.
Today we're running out of time since we started the hike mid-afternoon around 2pm and we have things to do by 6pm so we did not proceed to the Lanipo summits, we trekked 2 miles in. I can see the last climb to the summit. That will be another reason for me to check it out sometime soon with the group.
