Thanks so much! Loved the varied landscapes of the Big Island. Like three different planets combine in one.

Dan, just a thought: your work reminds me of the wonderful illustrations of Hendrik Willem van Loon; ever seen his work?

Oh to have this talent. Thanks for sharing with us. was thehike up Koko head anything like the hike up Diamond Head? Looking for some hikes when I go

danbran on May 5, 12 at 03:12 PM

Thanks, Shar! The Koko head hike migh be shorter than Diamond head hike, but it's gruelling! But the reward is an amzing commanding view. I would recommend bringing water and maybe even a lunch with you to the top. I saw some people having a little picnic up there and regretted not doing the same.

Diamond Head is easy enough to do since it's so close to Waikiki. Little bit longer but not as tough. Great view up there too.

There's also a great hike to Laie Falls on the north shore. Tiny waterfall, but you can swim in the water there. 1.5 hr hike.
