Скачать или смотреть KAHEKILI - MANAMANA - CROUCHING LION Trail, Oahu, HAWAII (4K)

One of the most beautiful and likely also on of the most dangerous hikes on Oahu is the roundtrip Kaaawa/Swanzy Beach Park - Kahekili - Manamana - Crouching Lion and back to Kaaawa. The loop trail, if hiked clockwise, starts at the Park in Kaaawa, leads up the ridge of the Kahekili, down to the waterfall (that most of the year is just a trickle) and up again on one of the many ridges to Puu Manamana. From there the trails follows the ridge in many ups and downs, sometimes extremely exposed, all the way down to the Crouching Lion and finally ends at Kamehameha HWY. The road leads back to the starting point at the Swanzy Beach Park. Important, don't trust the ropes and anchors you might find along the trail e.g. on exposed and/or steep sections - use them for balancing but be aware that some of them might fail at any time. Furthermore, on this side of the island, rain showers are possible at any time - the slippery clay will make the descent enormously challenging.
