We have done this hike a few times before but this time was different. This time we went with a bunch of friends and we went past the canons. We went with the Peters, Goodwins, Ho Chings and Vili. We were a little late getting started so we met up with the group at the first pit stop.... the canons.
Then we hiked up to the second canon. Here Jason is trying to convince Riley he can fit inside the canon.
We continued on from there. The trail takes you above the canon and along the mountain ridge to another bunker and on to the old cable car. We stopped around the bunker and turned around. All in all we hiked about 3 hours.
Like Riley's mode of hiking? Lucky. ;)
Good friends and good times.
Here is the whole group at the bunker. Sorry for the blurry picture.
Even on the mountain top work found me. ;)
There was a rope to help us on the steeper parts. The Parks & Rec guys were there doing some work on the trails and were a big help getting us up and down.
Here we are bring up the rear.
Once we were down we crossed the street to Gatavai Beach and enjoyed a cool swim and some lunch.
My boys love rocks. Even at a beach.
Smile Villy!
My friends: Christine, Ngaire and Lana! These three keep me motivated, active and sane!
Oliver and Alec chow down.
Riley is buried neck deep by girls. Literally. ;)
Then the boys do it too.
Brady sits in the sand chair he made himself.
Skyler asked for it when he asked Tessa and Arias to bury him. ;)
It was a great summer day to hike and swim with friends.
