Manoa Falls, Oahu, HI

_
Monoa Falls is only about 5 miles from downtown Honolulu, but it might as well be a thousand miles away. After finding the parking lot at the base of the trail, one must hike about a mile up a muddy (it's in a rain forest) jungle trail. Here is a short video of the 100-foot falls.

;-)
Getting there by foot is the fun part. At the parking lot, you are offered a free (after the $5 parking fee) walking stick. Hint: Take it! And, also, wear good hiking shoes. Flip-flops will not cut it!

Here is the intrepid Jossy picking and choosing her next step up the muddy incline...

And now, me carefully descending from the falls area.

We returned to the Hale Koa muddy, tired, but happy.

For a realistic effect, try playing all three videos at the same time!
