Manoa Falls Trail






Yesterday, Zeraline, Zeahne, and myself all packed into the car and with directions in hand headed East on H1. This was my first time driving east towards honolulu and waikiki on H1. LOTS of traffic - reminds of 75 in dayton at around 3pm. Anyway...we headed this way to go to Lyons Arboretum. I was excited at finding an arboretum in oahu and wanted to go see if it is anything like Cox Arboretum (one of my favorite places in dayton). So Zeahne had school off and we decided to go walk around and see what they had. We got there after driving a 1/4 mile through this one lane road that is covered overhead by a thick canopy of trees. we drove up this hill and past paradise park and up some more, saw the entrance to Manoa Falls Trail and then saw the sign for Lyons Arboretum...it was closed. I didn't realize that it was a state holiday. So, we turned around and drove back past the trail opening and stopped at this parking lot and talked to this guy about the trail. He said it was easy and doesn't require much...mind you we have a 7month pregnant lady and a 5 year old boy. we decided that it would be fun. So we parked got out and started hiking. Here are some pics of our fun. This is a beautiful place to go and see! God is so creative!
