Manoa Cliff to Kalawahine trail loop

Manoa Cliff to Kalawahine trail loop...jungle and cliffs, what could be better??
Check out the cool way the tree grew...like a little forest roller coaster
Me on the cliff edge
Beautiful mountain and valley views
We stopped for a minute to enjoy the scenery and found a geo cache at this point...pretty cool
There's Hunter and those trees again :)
It was a little voggy today, the views were still amazing
Cool trees were everywhere to be found
The ferns growning on the side of the cliff had tiny leaves shaped like hearts
Today we hiked in the Makiki Forest Reserve. There is a large trail system here, 18 trails in all. We explored two today and will definitely be back to check out many more. Pictures can't show the beauty we saw. We had snacks of strawberry guava, took home some avocado and enjoyed the sweet fragrance of white jasmine along the way. We had a picnic overlooking diamond head and all of Waikiki...a perfect day!
