Hike: Poamoho Ridge Date: Wednesday, March 11, 1998 Weather: Sunny, cloudy in the mountains Time Started: 8:35 AM Time Finished: 2:40 PM Round trip duration: ~ 6 hours Party: Ponciana "Ping" Ongayo & Alex Okihara Ping and I were very fortunate to go hiking for work! Here's Ping servicing the first of three rain gages. On the right of the trail lay Poamoho Stream, which was probably dry at the time of our visit. As seen here, the trail is very wide and well established. About 80% of the trail is like this. Near the summit, the trail starts to narrow and gets a little more challenging (especially if it's wet). At the end of the trail, there is a nice grass clearing with the Wai'anae Range in the background. Here is what I believe to be the stone memorial to Geraldine Cline, a member of the Hawaiian Trail and Mountain Club who died tragically in a car accident. At the overlook, you can see the majestic peaks of Pu'u Manamana, and Pu'u 'Ohulehule. For a little excitement, I decided to climb down on a narrow section. There were no treacherous areas on this trail, and I needed a little bit of a rush to keep me alive.
