I hiked up Hamama Stream to cool off in the mountain pools along the stream and to see the waterfall in the very back of Waihee Valley.
Due to the rain, we abandoned our original hiking plans in favor of joining the Hawaiian Trail and Mountain Club (HTMC) to climb to the summit of Puu Heleakala, the rocky hill/ridge on the Waianae Coast of Oahu.
I joined the Hawaiian Trail and Mountain Club (HTMC) to climb to the summit of Keaau Ridge which towers over the valleys of Makaha and Ohikilolo on the Waianae Coast of Oahu.
We hiked to some of the more remote enclaves within Makaha Valley to look for rare native plants and animals that can some times be found in isolated little pockets.
