Makua Caves

July 4, 2016

Hiking on July 4th has become a tradition.  One I intend to continue.  Standing on the top of a mountain, looking out over the Pacific ocean, brings a feeling of freedom to my soul.

This year we hiked to the upper Makua caves in Makaha.  Ryker, Tay, Q, Matthew P. and Cathy P. were with me this year, (with Atlas and Orson along for the ride).

It was approximately .6 miles, straight up the side of the mountain.  More rock climbing than hiking really.  It was challenging and very fun.  It was worth the effort.  I would recommend going earlier in the morning.  At noon we just about died from the heat.

Here are photos from this breathtaking location.
