Lulumahu Falls - April 23rd, 2012

Valley!
This was my last hike before my foot surgery, I was thankful for Marcus for taking me and a couple friends on this hike, along with a few other people! It was a great hike, the falls were gorgeous, we then went to see another waterfall, but it was on private property so therefore directions to that hike I will not give, but lulumahu is definitely worth the risk, it is a Board of Water Supply hike, which means the water we drink is tapped from these different hikes, and they don't like random people just wondering on to these trails, since people suck and leave garbage or other rubbish along the trail, possibly compromising the water!

Lulumahu falls is located at the end of Nuuanu road, the trail head is at the end of the road near the Pali Lookout, it's a shortish hike only about 2 1/2 miles maybe round trip, there really isn't much danger to this hike, except the few rocks you need to get over and the stream crossings, but nothing crazy, no dangers of falling of cliffs! I really enjoyed this hike, the views are pretty, you can also get to the the Nuuanu reservoir, a area where people jump off this boardwalk looking thing, I wouldn't do it, people have died, but it is pretty to see, the moutain ranges and what nots!

We also saw King Kamehameha summer palace, which was pretty cool, it's located just down the road from our hike, less than a quarter of a mile on the left hand side there is a small opening in the woods that leads to a trail, I want to say the ruins are off to the left, I can't exactly remember, but there was a lot of bamboo, it was definitely very pretty!
