The Never Ending Hike

Update: Michelle has posted about the hike on her blog so hop on over and see her pictures.

Usually the return trip seems much shorter than the walk out (climb up) but not this one. It seemed to go on and on and on....
Evan, Owen, Erica and Hope before the hike. You can see into Diamond Head behind them.
You can see the mountains we will be going up behind Evan. Rubik's Cube fever is in the family. Owen and Erik.
Owen in the trees.
We heard there were monkeys on this hike.
That is where we are headed...these trails we do are marked "novice"...I think maybe we ought to get a new book.
One of many ropes.
Diamond Head again.
That little speck up there is Evan!
All of us at the top of Hawai'iloa Ridge-Erik, Lisa, Evan, Owen, Michelle, Hope, Erica and Charlie.
View. The first peek on the right is Kuli'ou'ou Ridge. The kids call it the slids and have done it a bunch of times.
A moose with a view.
More view.
Incredible view.
This hike was 360 degrees of view.
Erica in the roots.
Are we ever going to finish this thing...?
Erik had to work on his birthday Saturday so we celebrated with a post hike dinner at California Pizza Kitchen. The Rubik's Cube goes everywhere...
