Pohai and I hiked to Delicate Arch in Arches National Park during our family trip to Utah and Arizona in September 2015. It was pretty awesome.<br />
<br />
Pohai and I did this hike as a day hike. Starting off in Provo, Utah. A three hour drive. <a href="https://www.google.com/maps/dir/Provo,+UT/Delicate+Arch+Parking,+Grand+County,+UT/@39.4176472,-111.8462077,8z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m14!4m13!1m5!1m1!1s0x874d9271930bf1bf:0x1d90f12600b556ef!2m2!1d-111.6585337!2d40.2338438!1m5!1m1!1s0x8747d927fdf65943:0xf9f12b594b56510d!2m2!1d-109.5206415!2d38.7353838!3e0" target="_blank">We started early in the morning, pushing off from Provo, down Spanish Fork Canyon, through Price and Green River, and finally to Moab</a>. Over 200 miles! What a way to start a hike!<br />
<br />
We first headed to the <a href="https://youtu.be/uaRwabTwNR0" target="_blank">Delicate Arch</a> <a href="https://www.google.com/maps/@38.7340361,-109.5012586,3a,75y,78.74h,90t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sXxDCxpopf1IJ86RtBYgJSQ!2e0!7i13312!8i6656" target="_blank">Lower Viewpoint</a>. We had to hike to the arch once I caught a glimpse of it.<br />

<a name='more'></a>Thankfully the weather was clear and sunny, but not too hot. It was warm, but, again, not too hot. This hike has NO SHADE and taking as much water as possible is a must. We had a <a href="http://www.fiftyfiftybottles.com/40oz-bottles/" target="_blank">40 oz. Hydro Flask</a>, that's it. That was not enough water. We made our way to the trailhead parking lot and trudged our way up the trail.<br />

<span style="text-align: left;">The beginning of the hike is pretty easy. Really, the whole hike is pretty easy. The beginning of the hike weaves up, over, and around a relatively flat plateau. The views of the distant arches and pillars are pretty great.</span></div>

Pretty soon you have to climb up some slick rock. The incline is pretty moderate, but there is no shade. The sun beats down and the air is bone dry. In the rain this slight incline would probably not be fun.<br />

Once you've conquered the slick rock hill, the trail levels out and the trail meanders through some sandy areas and more slick rock. The trail then opens up to a steep valley and some rock formations on the other side of the valley.</div>

As you approach Delicate Arch the trail contours a sandstone wedge with steep drop offs on one side (into that valley pictured above). A fall off the ledge here would lead to serious injury or more. You turn a corner and BOOM, Delicate Arch!<br />

Delicate Arch is located on the edge of a sandstone bowl. The sandstone is slick and steeply angled toward the bowl. If you slipped and slid down to the bowl, there's a nice drop into the bowl. Not recommended for little children.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The arch was much bigger than I was expecting!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

I set up my camera to take some selfies under Delicate Arch. I had my tripod and set up my wireless flash triggers as a remote shutter release and made my way under the arch.</div>

Early morning start up the switchbacks of the Halema`uma`u trail. During the night we watched as about a dozen hikers came down Halema`uma`u, at various times, heading off to Kapalaoa or Paliku or to the Holua camp area. Was kinda creepy seeing lights descending Halema`uma`u at midnight and having strangers walking past the cabin in the middle of the night. Of course the hikers that passed by were all very friendly. Still...kinda eerie. <br />

It was awesome. (<a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/kiapolo/sets/72157655481135755" target="_blank">Pics here</a>).<br />

I had a goal of keeping my backpack to 30 pounds for the Haleakalā hike. I originally wanted to keep it to 25 pounds, but that quickly became unrealistic (and I didn't want to spend the money needed to keep the weight that low). I created an inventory of what I was packing listed here: <a href="http://lighterpack.com/r/8nisub">http://lighterpack.com/r/8nisub</a><br />

<br />
I weighed my bag when I checked in to HNL the morning of July 1, 2015. 32 lbs! That's without my camera and lenses! Thankfully no one weight checked my bag at the terminal. Add to that 3L of water (6.6 lbs) and I was easily hiking with around 40 pounds in my pack!<br />
<br />
Of course that I carried too much. What would I have done differently?<br />
<ol>
<li><a href="http://www.target.com/p/threshold-microplush-blanket/-/A-10830408" target="_blank">90"x90" fleece</a>. I could have done with something smaller and lighter. The Cabins got hot at night with 12 people and the woodfire stove going. Some nights I did not need a blanket at all (though I wouldn't recommend going without a blanket).</li>
<li>Baby sized bed sheet. Didn't need it.</li>
<li>I didn't brush my teeth (gross!). Toothbrush, toothpaste, soft-picks - all could've been left at home</li>
<li>Q-tips. Didn't use.</li>
<li>Gold Bond powder. Didn't use.</li>
<li>Deodorant. Didn't use (gross!).</li>
<li><a href="http://gizmodo.com/5836651/this-1-led-headlamp-is-your-why-the-hell-not-deal-of-the-day" target="_blank">Headlamp</a>. Broke the first night! Though it would've been useful.</li>
<li>Sweater/jacket. Didn't need <b>both</b>. I ended using the sweater and never using the jacket. If it rained...would've been the other way around.</li>
<li>Sweat pants. I could've gone with something lighter/thinner. Thermal bottoms or windbreakers.</li>
<li>Gloves. Didn't need them.</li>
<li>Shorts. Brought two pairs, but really only needed one pair. Though I really liked the lightweight swim trunks I used.</li>
<li><a href="http://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B00HE5VZNK" target="_blank">External battery (USB)</a>. Didn't use. Only used cell phone for occasionally taking videos and for reading. Battery was at 70% after four days in zero cell service area (airplane mode).</li>
<li><a href="http://smile.amazon.com/Coghlans-9617-4-Ounce-Biodegradable-Camp/dp/B003NMH2NU" target="_blank">Camp soap (liquid)</a>. Didn't use. Each camp had an excess of similar camp soap.</li>
<li><a href="http://www.samsclub.com/sams/snickers-almond-24-1-76-oz-bars/157386.ip" target="_blank">Snickers Almond</a>. Brought too much. Planned on eating 3 a day. Ate about 6 of the 12 I brought. Made for good sharing.</li>
<li><a href="http://www.samsclub.com/sams/daniele-salame-toscano-18-oz/prod4610029.ip?navAction=push" target="_blank">Salami</a>. Brought too much. Only ate about 3-4 oz of the 12 that I brought. It was delicious, but too cumbersome to deal with.</li>
<li><a href="http://kerrygoldusa.com/products/dubliner-cheese" target="_blank">Cheese</a>. Brought too much. Only ate about 1/2 of the 14 oz that I brought. It was delicious and transformed <a href="http://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B00408XID4" target="_blank">eggs</a> and other meals. Made for good sharing.</li>
<li>Mountain House Dehydrated meals. Only ate <a href="http://smile.amazon.com/Mountain-House-Standard-Pouch-Lasagna/dp/B0002YRNVS/" target="_blank">three</a> <a href="http://smile.amazon.com/Mountain-House-Scrambled-Bacon-Pouch/dp/B0002YSQ5U/" target="_blank">of</a> the <a href="http://smile.amazon.com/Mountain-House-50124-Chicken-Teriyaki/dp/B000RL23F2/" target="_blank">five</a> meals that I packed in. Only one of the three were appealing to me (<a href="http://smile.amazon.com/Mountain-House-Chicken-White-Chili/dp/B007VEN8S4/" target="_blank">Chicken Chili</a>). I just do not appreciate a soup of bland flavor/weird textures in a bag. <a href="http://smile.amazon.com/Idahoan-Potatoes-Variety-1-Package-Chipotle/dp/B00M8EDHYW/" target="_blank">Instant mashed potatoes</a>, salami and cheese were more than enough.</li>
<li><a href="http://smile.amazon.com/Land-Lakes-Classics-Chocolate-1-25-Ounce/dp/B003VMVL3O/" target="_blank">Hot cocoa</a>. Brought too much. Only had two servings of the five that I packed in. The hot cocoa I did consume was delicious (<a href="http://smile.amazon.com/Land-Lakes-Classics-Chocolate-1-25-Ounce/dp/B003VMVL3O/" target="_blank">Land O Lakes</a>).</li>
</ol>
<div>
What worked well:</div>
<div>
<ol>
<li><a href="http://smile.amazon.com/Sawyer-Products-SP103-Filtration-System/dp/B00MPH1LEU/" target="_blank">Sawyer Mini</a>. Water was cold and filtered clean! The filtered better than the bottled water I packed in the first day. Filtering water was (relatively) fast and easy. No boiling and waiting to cool. No funky tasting sanitizing drops/tablets. The <a href="http://smile.amazon.com/Platypus-Platy-Bottle-2-Litre-ounces/dp/B000J2KEGY/" target="_blank">Platypus 2L bladder</a> tended to leak when connected directly to the Sawyer mini filter (not a problem with the included 16 oz Sawyer bladder). Next time I will invest in a <a href="http://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B00AZVMS8G" target="_blank">conversion kit</a> to attach the <a href="http://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B000J2H8OA" target="_blank">2L platypus bladder to the Sawyer mini</a> (and possibly run as a gravitation filter). It was much more efficient to filter the 2L bladder as opposed to the 16 oz sawyer bladder. Otherwise, great setup! Back flushed every morning to keep the filters clear and flowing.</li>
<li><a href="http://www.walmart.com/ip/Mainstays-Grease-Dispenser/32263277" target="_blank">Walmart Grease Pot</a>. One of the other workhorses of the trip. Used for everything from mixing pancake batter, bathing/showering, mixing Idahoan Mashed Potatoes, making hot chocolate. Great lightweight, little pot. Handle did run hot when boiling water/cooking.</li>
<li><a href="http://www.samsclub.com/sams/gatorade-gf-pwd-36-qt/prod9500089.ip" target="_blank">Gatorade Powder</a> (Frost Glacier Freeze flavor). I brought enough to make 1 liter of Gatorade a day for 3 days (purchased a Powerade for the first day hiking and used the bottle to make gatorade each day for the rest of the hike).

I contemplated taking my 6D/24-104 f/4L camera system on this hike. That combination would have topped the scales at over 4 lbs! I didn't not have the luxury of adding that kind of weight to my pack. Instead I took my EOS-M, <a href="http://www.photographyblog.com/reviews/canon_efm_22mm_f_2_stm_review/" target="_blank">EF-M 22mm f/2</a>, and <a href="http://www.photographyblog.com/reviews/canon_efm_18_55mm_f_35_56_is_stm_review/" target="_blank">EF-M 18-55mm</a> combo. The EOS-M and two lenses came out to just over 1 lbs, 5 oz. I ended up taking the camera, both lenses, batteries, <a href="http://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B008OQUZEI" target="_blank">cas</a><a href="http://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B008OQV0VK" target="_blank">es,</a> <a href="http://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B005OAU24K" target="_blank">table top tripod</a>, and wireless trigger which, altogether, weighed in at 2 lbs, 12 oz! For landscape photos, the EOS-M performs marvelously!</li>

<li>I'd like to spend more time at Holua and Paliku cabins. I would love to spend a couple days at Paliku and explore the surrounding area. I would love to spend a couple days with Holua as a basecamp and check out the lava tubes and explore the Ko`olau gap and venture the Waikau area.</li>
<li>Kaupo Gap. I have yet to exit Haleakalā via the Kaupo Gap. Next time.</li>

I headed to Hilo with my father and stayed at my brother's house in Hawaiian Paradise Park to see Halema`uma`u in action. The first night (about 1:00 am) it was cloudy and rainy. The Jaggar overlook was nearly empty. The lava lake was spectacular! Not great for taking pictures.<br />

<br />
For July Fourth my Dad and I drove up to the summit of Mauna Kea. It was a beautiful day on the Big Island, with some high clouds and tons of blue sky and sunshine. My rental Jeep handled the unpaved road to the summit perfectly.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="427" mozallowfullscreen="" msallowfullscreen="" oallowfullscreen="" src="https://www.flickr.com/photos/kiapolo/14455024988/player/" webkitallowfullscreen="" width="640"></iframe></div>

<span style="text-align: left;"><br /></span>
<span style="text-align: left;">A few minutes after we got to the top, a Mini Cooper strolled up! It was followed a few minutes later by some tourists in a Ford Mustang and a couple rental Chevy sedans!</span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">

My Dad and I took a couple of selfies at the top overlooking the Keck Observatory and Haleakala.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Being nearly 14,000 feet high, the air is quite thin! Every movement is strained and we were both getting dizzy from altitude sickness. So we decided to attempt trekking to the summit, only a 200 yard trail.<br />
<br /></div>

The battle for O`ahu culminated in <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nu%E2%80%98uanu_Pali" target="_blank">Nu`uanu Valley and what is today called the Pali Lookout</a>.<br />
<br />
I woke up at 3:30 am and drove up to the Nu`uanu Pali Lookout for <a href="https://www.facebook.com/events/1449258838641215/" target="_blank">Ho`omana`o `Ana o Ke Kaua Lelea`anae</a>,the Commemoration of the Battle of Nu`uanu. I had only recently realized that the Nu`uanu Pali Lookout opens at 4:00 am. I arrived just before 4 am. It was dark, empty, wet, and very windy.<br />
<br />
By around 5:00 am the parking lot was packed. The procession of a few dozen people made it's way from the parking lot to the lookout.<br />

It was a windy and rainy morning. I felt for the young men who endured the cold in only their malo.<br />
<br />
The Pali looked majestic bathed in clouds (looking towards Lanihuli).<br />

We didn't do much sight seeing, but being so close to <a href="http://www.nps.gov/havo/index.htm" target="_blank">Volcano National Park</a> I was able to check out <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halemaumau_Crater" target="_blank">Halema`uma`u Crater</a> a couple of nights. Really love this place.<br />

<br />
Finally got out to the Rock Bridge at <a href="http://placenamesofhanauma.weebly.com/pai699olu699olu.html">Pai`olu`olu</a>, the Southern/Western point on the rim of Hanauma Bay. The hike up <a href="http://placenamesofhanauma.weebly.com/kuamo699ok257ne.html">Kuamoʻokāne</a> (Koko Head) and out to Pai`olu`olu is short but HOT! There is NO shade along the trail. Today was a great day to be out hiking, but the sun was blazing! We definitely did not take enough water on this hike.

While making our way down to the twin craters of <a href="http://placenamesofhanauma.weebly.com/nono699ula.html" target="_blank">Nonoʻula</a> and <a href="http://placenamesofhanauma.weebly.com/699ihi699ihilau257kea.html" target="_blank">ʻIhiʻihilauākea</a> there were random bunches of rose petals along the trail. Soon we saw what those were about. Shelby's boyfriend was going to propose!

Just as we passed ʻIhiʻihilauākea crater we ran into Shelby and her boyfriend, now fiancée, making their way back up Kuamoʻokāne. Of course Sommer made me get a picture of Shelby's ring. Congratulations!

I don't know how people stand on this thing! It's terrifying! If you fall in or the bridge collapses, you're done for!

We took some family pictures, then headed back up Koko Head and back to air conditioning in the car! It was so hot on the way back and we were severely lacking in water. Thankfully the trail is short and the air conditioning (and water in the car) was cold!

Two months in a row!!! Sommer and I went hiking every Saturday in June; now every Saturday in July, too! I always wanted to catch the sunset from Ka`ena Point, the western tip of O`ahu. We had planned on doing another sunrise hike, but Hōkūle`a stayed up all night Friday night, not going to bed until 4:00 am Saturday morning! Now I had my excuse to catch the sunset from Ka`ena Point.

We pushed off about a quarter mile from the end of Farrington Highway at the back of Keawe`ula (Yokohama) Beach Park. From experience (and the mounds of broken glass at the end of the road) I know that parking at the end of the road isn't safe for your automobile, especially since we will not be back until well after dark. The extra half mile walk will be worth it in the end. While looking for a place to park a pack of campers showed up in their Lexus and Mercedes-Benz SUVs. They started setting up camp for the night, so I pulled next to their camp, knowing our car would be safe with them nearby.
Ka`ena Point is a 5+ mile hike along an old abandoned sugarcane train track that went from Wai`anae, around Ka`ena Point, and up to the sugar refinery in Waialua. There is no shade on this trail and starting at 5:00 pm meant it was going to be HOT. Sommer carried Hōkūle`a in her ErgoBaby and I packed in our water and supplies.<br />

It was hot, but the view of the northern tip of the Waianae Coast is amazing. Waves break on lava rocks and jagged cliffs.

We reached Ka`ena Point about 30 minutes before sunset. We made camp at the old concrete beacon tower and waited for the sun to go to bed.

Once the sun set we quickly made our back to the trailhead. I didn't expect the trail to get so dark, so fast! By the time we got back to the entrance of the nature reserve it was already dark. There was no moon out and the overcast sky cut any light from the stars. We hiked completely by the light of our flashlights and headlamps. The walk back - though pitch black - wasn't scary (except the unexpected "bellow" from the blowhole about halfway back to the trailhead). The scariest part of the walk back was the quarter mile from the start of the road to where we parked. There were some "unsavory characters" hanging out at the end of the road!

Another Saturday, another sunrise hike with <a href="http://sommersuccess.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Sommer</a> and <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/kiapolo/collections/72157631829702565/" target="_blank">Hōkūle`a</a>. This morning we headed out to Kane`ohe and up to <a href="http://www.kiapolo.com/2012/06/puu-maelieli-june-16-2012.html" target="_blank">Pu`u Ma</a><a href="http://www.kiapolo.com/2012/02/puu-maelieli-february-4-2012.html" target="_blank">`eli`eli</a>, a small ridge between He`eia and Ahuimanu. Today was Daddy's turn carrying Hōkū in her ErgoBaby.<br />

It was the first time I've ever been to the top of Pu`u Ma`eli`eli with other groups of hikers already there! Everyone was trying to capture another great sunrise over Kane`ohe Bay.<br />

For the first Saturday in July we headed up the O`ahu Windward Coast to try <a href="http://instagram.com/p/bcTFyexDWu/" target="_blank">Hau`ula Loop</a>. I had never done this trail, so I was looking forward to a new adventure. Sommer strapped Hōkū into her ErgoBaby and off we went.<br />
<br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
We headed in a clockwise direction on the loop. I had read that the clockwise trek gives a quicker elevation climb to the ridge, then a nice gradual descent back to the start of the loop.</div>

Sommer is such a trooper! She carried Hōkū the entire length of the trail!<br />

Once you gain the first ridge the trail meanders in and out of some minor valleys and gains a second ridge that the trail follows for a while before heading back into the same valley, crossing the same stream you crossed higher up on the trail.<br />
