Today on islandlyfe:
Koko head; the CRAZIEST hike I have personally EVER done! it is at LEAST a hour long hike one wasy with the possibility of death. For all those who are reading this DO NOT DO IT! for a person who is MORTIFIED of heights this was not the smartest idea that I personally have ever had. Though I went with a friend the fear of possibly falling on my face was not pleasant. It starts off as something do-able then turns into the impossible. Crawling an all fours I left my dignity at the base of the trail. Now theres a term... TRAIL there is NONE! you are walking on termite eaten pieces of wood with rusted tracks on both sides. the half way point leaves you with a view of all of Hawaii Kai, though beautiful I am almost CERTAIN there is a better way to see it. This trail is well used by novice and professionals alike. More than once was passed up by runners... not just running but carrying chains, dogs, or children, and sometimes even both. Going up might have been hard but coming back down was a WHOLEnother story. The heights came in and my old training kicked in. I crab walked allllll the back to the base. The steep uneven ground was not compatible with my clumsiness.  In all I was proud to have even done the trail but it was one of those Ive done it once and dont wanna do it AGAIN.
