Wiliwilinui 2018!

Thank you Gary for this pic
At long last, the sister hikes are finally completed! I tamed Kuliouou and Hawaii Loa last year. Finally the circle is now complete as Wiliwilinui has been thrown into the fray. Let's get started!

*Hike was done on the 6th of November*


 



Rained the previous day so the hike was pretty muddy and slippery. I hiked with Gary who was visiting from Washington state. I slipped quite a bit on this trail. Lots of stairs 3/4's toward the end. I personally feel there was more stairs on this hike in comparison to the other sister hikes. The trail being muddy, wet, and slippery didn't help either. Some area will have ropes for you to climb up or down.




The summit:

 


 


 


 


 


 


 

The summit gets smaller and smaller if you go from Kuliouou > Hawaii Loa > Wiliwilinui in that order; bigger vice versa. Sky was pretty overcast so you had to wait a bit for the clouds to clear just to get some nice views. By the time you hit the communications tower the summit is just nearby. Anyhow, thank God I survived that hike. Had pizza at Pieology afterwards. It's actually a pretty long hike overall. Anyhow, take care folks and go with Jesus.
