Installment three of Thursday trails brought me and my weekday hiking buddy to Waimano Trail (Upper and Lower). The last time I did this trail was in 2010...back when I only had one kid. This time I only had one kid, as the older one (that I previously did this hike with) was traveling in Washington, D.C. I remembered this hike because it is minutes away from the hustle and bustle of Pearl City and easy for kids (and moms). This trail was better maintained the last time I hiked it, but was still enjoyable this time around. Introducing new people to new hikes is also a thrill. We trekked through tall leaves and grass, were surrounded by trees and rocks, and stomped through dark, thick mud. We snapped some photos for Instagram, ate a small snack, and enjoyed the stream (and mosquitoes). We only encountered one other person (and her dog) along the way, which was a nice change from the highly trafficked Manoa and Makapu'u trails done on previous Thursdays...
