A bunch of us got together today to hike Maunawili Falls. We first met up at Yogurtland early in the morning and carpooled down to Kailua. It was a great day for a hike, the weather was just perfect and the trail was nice and muddy. There were about a grand total of 15 of us. Although I still haven’t learned everyone’s names yet, I know who you guys are, so don’t feel bad!
There were great picture moments and beautiful summit views. The waterfall was just absolutely wonderful when we got there. While a few of us swam, the rest of us germaphobes stayed back, dipped our toes in the cool water, and enjoyed the great view. The 3mile round trip hike took about 3 hours to complete. After the hike, half of us head toward Kailua town for some Mexican and magaritas!! Muy Bueno!! 
It was a great way to start the semester, we met a lot of new and wonderful. Hopefully there will be more awesome hikes and activities in the future. In the words of Borat, this hike was a “GREAT SUCCESS!”

After months of being dormant, the UHM Sierra Club has finally arose once again. We are starting the new semester with new and some old faces. Our mission is to have fun in the most sustainable way possible and to educate our fellow students in maintaining our natural resources. We have many exciting things planned out for this semester, lots of hikes, service projects and of course our sailing excursion with the Leisure Center in November. Awesome…

(Norms notes: Chris, Phoebe and I went hiking at Makapu’u tide pools… we took the less traveled road along the rocky coast and went bouldering up to the top of Pele’s Chair; we got muddy, scraped up, but it was well worth the scenic view… Finally in the early afternoon, we arrived at the tide pools. The pools were crystal clear and teeming with colorful fish, tiny critters, and giant sea cumbers. We leisurely spent the afternoon having lunch, swimming, snorkeling, tanning at the pools. Nearby, the dragon’s nostril blow-hole explodes with jets of vapor (could only be cooler if it had breathed fire). We ended the fun filled day having dinner at phoebe’s.

Another great hike. We ended up taking the bus over the Pali and then Phoebe gave us a ride up to the trailhead. It was raining and the trail was muddy, but that didn’t stop us. Diana definitely gets the most intrepid hiker award for not letting her lack of a bathing suit keep her from swimming in the falls or jumping off the cliffs. Thanks to Marisa Watanabe for taking such great photos and sharing them with us.
Phoebe and Adam enjoy snacks at the falls.
