SUMMARY:Hau'ula Loop Trail Hike
DESCRIPTION:MODERATE LEVEL HIKE    We are NOT including the waipilopilo portion of the hike. \n\n“Length:2.6 mi    Elevation gain:853 ft      Route type:Loop\n\n\nExplore this 2.6-mile loop trail near Hauula\, Oahu. Generally considered a moderately challenging route\, it takes an average of 1 h 38 min to complete. This is a very popular area for hiking and mountain biking\, so you’ll likely encounter other people while exploring. The trail is open year-round and is beautiful to visit anytime. Dogs are welcome and may be off-leash in some areas… \nOne option is to park at [Hau’ula Beach Park\, Hauula\, HI 96717]. There is no real room to park at the entrance without trashing someone’s lawn. Plus it gives you a place to rinse off afterwards. Bring bug spray. Hiking the loop clockwise is recommended.” \n\nPlease bring sun protection like a hat/cap/sunscreen/etc\, at least 2 liters of water per person\, good footwear\, snacks\, & clothing for bad weather just in case. \nPlease carpool if possible (you can contact us in advance so we can coordinate).\nPLEASE COME ON TIME (COME EARLIER THAN 9:30 TO GET PARKING).\nDepending on the fitness level of attendees\, we may have two groups one fast paced & the other slower. \nMatt will be the lead (ie\, he will be in front of everyone) & I (Terry) will be the sweeper/follow (ie\, I will make sure that everyone is in front of me). You should make sure that you are between us\, hopefully with eyes on one of us at all times for safety. \nLet’s have a safe but enjoyable Sunday together. \nWe will probably head over to some place to feed our hungry bellies after the hike. Brainstorm where at! : ) \nIF THE WEATHER IS BAD\, ASSUME THAT WE HAVE CANCELED THE EVENT.

DESCRIPTION:“Special film screening of The Day After Tomorrow (2004). Following the film screening\, stick around for a few rounds of Fact or Fiction! \n\n\n\n\n\nFilm: The Day After Tomorrow (2004)          Director: Roland Emmerich \nAbout the Film \nAs Paleoclimatologist Jack Hall is in Antartica\, he discovers that a huge ice sheet has sheared off. But what he does not know is that this event will trigger a massive climate shift that will affect the world population. Meanwhile\, his son Sam is with friends in New York City to attend an event. There\, they discover that it has been raining non-stop for the past three days\, and after a series of weather-related disasters begin to occur all over the world\, everybody realizes the world is about to enter a new Ice Age and the world population begins trying to evacuate to the warmer climates of the south. Jack makes a daring attempt to rescue his son and his friends who are stuck in New York City and who have managed to survive not only a massive wave but also freezing cold temperatures that could possibly kill them.—John Wiggins\, IMDb (2h 4m) \n\n\n\n\nAbout the Sustainability Film Series \nThe Sustainability Film Series is designed to explore contemporary issues at the intersection of human and natural environments. The series combines films and panel discussions aimed at linking film themes to Hawai‘i and the region. Panelists with differing expertise\, including scientists\, policy-makers\, nonprofit experts\, and artists\, will discuss the many dimensions of existing efforts and sustainability solutions. The series is open to the public and designed for broad engagement. It is our hope that the series inspires communities of practice among students and community members by empowering you to engage in these important social and environmental issues. \nIn the Fall of 2024\, we are delighted that sponsorship from the State of Hawaii Climate Change Mitigation and Adaptation Commission will allow us to provide these events to the public free of charge. \nOrganizing Partners \nUniversity of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa Institute for Sustainability and Resilience \nHonolulu Museum of Art/Doris Duke Theatre \nState of Hawaiʻi Climate Change Mitigation and Adaptation Commission \nThe Better Tomorrow Speaker Series is a joint venture of the Hawai‘i Community Foundation\, Kaiāulu by Kamehameha Schools\, and the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa with support from the UH Foundation. \n\nHow do I get into the Doris Duke Theatre?  Enter through HoMA’s main entrance on Beretania.

SUMMARY:New Location for Hike: Kealia Trail (Kawaihapai - Dillingham) - Intermediate
DESCRIPTION:Unfortunately\, the other hike trail appears to be closed so we will be doing this alternative hike. \nThis is an intermediate hike but we will only be doing about half of it. \nClick on the venue description for detailed directions on where to park & where the trailhead is but it is summarized down below. \nPlease bring sun protection like a hat/cap/sunscreen/etc\, at least 2 liters of water per person\, good footwear\, snacks\, & clothing for bad weather just in case. \nPlease carpool if possible (you can contact us in advance so we can coordinate).\nPLEASE COME ON TIME (COME EARLIER THAN 10 TO GET PARKING).\nDepending on the fitness level of attendees\, we may have two groups one fast paced & the other slower. \nMatt will be the lead (ie\, he will be in front of everyone) & I (Terry) will be the sweeper/follow (ie\, I will make sure that everyone is in front of me). You should make sure that you are between us\, hopefully with eyes on one of us at all times for safety. \nLet’s have a safe but enjoyable Sunday together. \nWe will probably head over to some place to feed our hungry bellies after the hike. Brainstorm where at! : ) \nIF THE WEATHER IS BAD\, ASSUME THAT WE HAVE CANCELED THE EVENT. We can always do this on another day…the risk is not worth it. \nAnd as always\, although we make safety a priority\, by coming you are accepting that you are solely responsible for your own safety & should not do anything you shouldn’t esp if you have medical restrictions.  \n  \nKealia Trail: The Hike\nThe first step is getting there\, which can be a confusing process on its own. \nThe Trailhead for Kealia is at the furthest stretch of road on the westernmost part of the North Shore. It begins at Dillingham Airfield\, which is an excellent GPS destination to plug in (because I don’t think there’s any other way to get anywhere these days\, am I right?!). \n\nOnce you reach the airfield\, drive all the way past it. Don’t park in the parking lot you see right off the main road\, because you can’t access the trail from there. Once you pass the airfield\, there will be a driveway on your left that you can turn into. Take it. Drive all the way down and turn left again\, then there will be a parking lot on your left. Park it. Then get out of your car and bop it. Spin it. Flick it. Smash it. Just kidding. You should stretch and hydrate! \nAcross the street you’ll see a chain across a road\, that’s the first entrance. There is a wide path that you’ll follow until you reach the trailhead entrance. \n\n\n\nAfter you enter through the fence\, the switchback trail will lead you through storybook woods and rocky terrain\, with zero chance of getting lost as long as you stay on the path. All that stands between you and that picnic table lookout is your own sheer determination and willpower! \n\n\nDon’t forget to enjoy the views on the way to the top. Fo’ real. The views from Kealia Trail are the best on the way up actually. Once you get to the picnic table you can’t really see much because the views are blocked by the trees. \n\n\nOnce you’ve made it here\, no one would judge you if this is where you decided to stop and turn back around. It’s a three mile loop trail\, and although it’s a switchback it’s still strenuous. Option A: Complete. \nhttps://noahlangphotography.com/blog/kealia-trail-oahu-hawaii

SUMMARY:Hanauma Bay Trail Hike - Redo
DESCRIPTION:For the very first time in over two years\, we had to cancel our hike on August 25th due to high winds.  So we are going to make another attempt. \n“The Hanauma Bay Ridge trail is an easy\, but long uphill hike on a paved asphalt road to the Hanauma Bay rock. The trail begins just West of the parking lot for Hanuama Bay. Follow the walkway to the top of the ridge. You can continue down the dirt trail if you feel like being adventurous (There is a secret beach and even a hidden rock bridge). Once you climb down you are able to explore any of the areas around the rock. This is a great vantage point of Aina Haina\, Hawaii Kai and Hanauma bay. ” \nGood shoes is a must. Bring lots of water.   Sun protection is always impt\, esp on this hike with no shade.\n\nNawiliwili St Parking is limited so try to carpool. Do not leave any valuables in the car.  WE WILL MEET AT NAWILIWILI AND KALANIANA’OLE HWY.\n\nMatt will be the lead (ie\, Matt will be in front of everyone) & I (Terry) will be the sweeper/follow (ie\, I will make sure that everyone is in front of me). You should make sure that you are between us\, hopefully with eyes on one of us at all times for safety. \nLet’s have a safe but enjoyable day together. After the hike\, we will probably head over to some place to feed our hungry bellies. Brainstorm where at! : ) \nIF THE WEATHER IS BAD\, ASSUME THAT WE HAVE CANCELED THE EVENT. We can always do this on another day…the risk is not worth it. \nAnd as always\, although we make safety a priority\, by coming you are accepting that you are solely responsible for your own safety & should not do anything you shouldn’t esp if you have medical restrictions.

SUMMARY:Kuliouou Ridge Trail
DESCRIPTION:WARNING: Unlike most of our hikes\, this is NOT a beginner hike & it lasts more than 4 hours. \n“Hikers of the Kuliʻouʻou Ridge Trail in Honolulu\, Oahu praise the incredible views. Recent reviews note the trail gets muddy and slippery towards the top\, and caution against fog at the summit. Conditions are best during warmer months when it’s dry\, with hikers recommending good tread shoes\, water\, and trekking poles. Typically in July\, the area can be windy\, requiring sturdy footwear\, and the views are panoramic.” \nstreet parking on Kalaau rd.  This trail begins where the Kuli’ou’ou trail state hiking sign is at the end of Kalaau Rd. Be sure to follow the dirt path not the paved road. The trail is filled with different surroundings and diverse plants. Keep an eye out for the pink ribbons\, they will guide you through if you find yourself confused or lost. Follow the dirt trail to the top of Koolau ridge for amazing views of South and East Shores of Oahu. \nBest to bring lunch or snacks as this will be a longer & more intermediate hike.   \nGood shoes is a must. Bring lots of water.   Sun protection is always impt.\n\nParking is limited so try to carpool. Do not leave any valuables in the car.\n\nGee will be the lead (ie\, she will be in front of everyone) & I (Terry) will be the sweeper/follow (ie\, I will make sure that everyone is in front of me). You should make sure that you are between us\, hopefully with eyes on one of us at all times for safety. \nLet’s have a safe but enjoyable day together. After the hike\, we will probably head over to some place to feed our hungry bellies. Brainstorm where at! : ) \nIF THE WEATHER IS BAD\, ASSUME THAT WE HAVE CANCELED THE EVENT. We can always do this on another day…the risk is not worth it. \nAnd as always\, although we make safety a priority\, by coming you are accepting that you are solely responsible for your own safety & should not do anything you shouldn’t esp if you have medical restrictions.

SUMMARY:Lanikai Pillbox (Ka'iwa Ridge Trail) Hike
DESCRIPTION:“The Lanikai Pillbox hike is located in Kailua\, about 30 minutes northeast of Honolulu\, on the east side of the island. The hike takes you up the Ka’iwa Ridge (another name for the trail) and has expansive views of both Lanikai and Kailua beach below\, the Mokulua Islands\, and the whole east side of Oahu. \nAnd while the hike is amazing because of the views\, it’s also pretty cool because of what you hike to: a couple of colorful\, graffiti covered pillboxes. These two pillboxes were originally built in 1943 and used as observation stations for incoming enemy ships. \nIf you want to get technical\, these pillboxes aren’t technically pillboxes. In military terms\, pillboxes are created to be affixed with weapons. These observation points were not designed to have weapons and were only meant for observation. But we can confidently say they accomplish their goal even to this day!” \n\n\n“The trailhead is located on Kaelepulu Drive\, blocks from Lanikai Beach. You will walk up a path right next to a private driveway (there is a sign to tell you where to go) to start the trail.”  We will meet at the trailhead at 9AM.\n\nGood shoes is a must. Bring lots of water.   Sunscreen is impt because there is little shade.\n\nParking is limited so try to carpool. Do not leave any valuables in the car.\n\nGee will be the lead (ie\, she will be in front of everyone) & I (Terry) will be the sweeper/follow (ie\, I will make sure that everyone is in front of me). You should make sure that you are between us\, hopefully with eyes on one of us at all times for safety. \nLet’s have a safe but enjoyable day together.
