@@Alex-uy8zx no problem! Good luck!!!

Hey this was in September

Thank you!!! :) Yeah it's such a shame they are getting rid of it for no good reason and wasting time and resources to do so. I'm glad you got the chance to see it before it'd gone!!

LOL yeah for real !

totally agree with you...that $2.6m allotted for the stairs removal could hv been used for other pressing local issues

Right, when I was in Texas and found out I was getting orders to Hawaii back in February that was one of the things I wanted to do was hike the stairway to Heaven, but literally when I showed up, they decided to tear it down smh. Now the legal access on the K-Bay side where that park is fenced off by the NPR. All I wanted was that breathing picture from the mountains

Yeah i agree it was insanely hard lol !!! we started even further back, i think it took us a few hours just to get to the the JP gate, and by then we had already gone through 2 rivers and some quick sand lol. We returned late late into the darkness of night, and were wondering if we were gonna run into some wild boars too..

its the storm drain from haiku valley. you know... one of the rainiest spots on oahu? foolishness.

​@pezpengy9308 Where is it though?

Oh wow that sounds really cool! Just hearing you talk about it makes me want to go back there again sometime too, it's such a surreal and beautiful place!

@@1lifeonearth it was fantastic. Didn’t get as far as Seville. But yeh I think you’re right about it being surreal, the only thing that really let down the whole Spanish experience was the sheer amount of litter. It was quite shocking how Ronda, being the national heritage that it is, all the litter. It was heartbreaking in some ways. If you look at the main bridge on google maps, follow it east, if you crossed the second bridge heading NEE, pass what appears to be a bit of a shanty type group of buildings on the right and immediately after you can access the river that feeds to the main bridge, but, assuming water level permits, you can walk the rock bed, I was able to make it far enough that I could see the metal walkway that a nearby business uses for tours (you go down inside the rocks - I didn’t get to do that either) alas. All the more reason to go back. But even down there in the canyon, all the litter. The water is so clear it’s so… surreal! If you’re on IG, look me up, Dave_ssfr, you’ll have to follow me but I put up most pics of my Spanish adventure, took plenty at Ronda, Malaga, Gibraltar, a trail over by Granada, the El Camino Del Rey walkway. If you do come back, and you’re yet to do the Camino Del Rey walkway, don’t snub your nose at the guided tour, I booked too late and had no option, and I’m so glad that it worked out the way it did, the fund of knowledge that the tour guide gave and its available in English or Spanish.

Oh yeah this makes me want to go back again and do some more hiking! I think we drove through Glencoe and did a little bit of walking around there. I'd like to do some more hiking there up into the mountains too! Maybe someday. Thank you!

because the echoes are kind of annoying. thats from experience. the BANG BANG BANG from footsteps is bad enough.

Thank you len and Sonya, I hope you have a fun time on your climb! :)

For real...I used to ask my hunter for friend take me Waipio-Waimanu...straight up told me "brah, you going complain too much" It's super rough from every description I've heard.

Yeah just the old cellphone on this one. I actually had my main big camera in my backpack, but I slipped and landed on my back during this hike, and it broke the lens! So I couldn't really film anything!
