I love doing long or short hikes going up Koolau summit. I usually hike for the satisfying rewards at the end of each trail, I always go for the view. I pretty much been to most of the summits on the east side of Oahu the views are just spectacularly amazing that I don't get tired of hiking to the summits.
Lately, my buddies and I was busy so we did not really do long hikes, we settle for short in and out hikes with wonderful views like this one. This is actually not a public trail so its a hike at your own risk trail. There are millions of "Private Property" signs posted but we don't know how to read this time, we are good on ignoring signs.
