This was my last hike in Hawaii on my babysitting visit. The kids spent a lot of time locked in the closet. :lol: Pu'ukawipo'o is a peak accessed via the Aiea Loop and Aiea Ridge trails.
Following a morning visit to the Pearl Harbor Memorial, I set out for Pu'ukawipo'o. The Aiea Ridge trail is clearer than any of the other ridge trails I hiked on Oahu. But, the further in and up you go the thinner and more overgrown the trail gets.
The flora in this area is a bit different than the other trails in the Moanalua Valley vicinity I hiked. I only saw two other hikers once I left the loop trail. Had a nice chat with one local young man.
Another fun hike in Hawaii. :)

Aiea Loop trail is located in a state park, and gladly there are no admission or parking fees.
This is the best maintained trail I hiked on during my trip. It is wide, not too steep, and not too muddy. Expect some mud on all Oahu hikes.
It's a popular trail. Probably a little crowded on weekends. I saw about 20 people when I hiked it on a Monday. Enjoyable hike. :)

I stole this track from Jared, too. I've been neglecting to charge my Garmin. :[

This is the first run in a series of trail races put on by the Hawaii Ultra Running Team each year. The route is essentially just the Aiea Loop, with a couple extra loops back up a hill at the beginning to crush our spirits. ;) Fun race, delicious food at the end!

We decided to do a short, easy hike/jog to stretch out our sore legs, but failed to account for the rain making the trail so slippery! We had to turn around a little over a mile into the hike to leave enough time for me to catch my plane home :[
