Diamond Head State Monument
#TroveOn for this #WeekendGetaway for the month of July is #Oahu #Hawaii. This morning, my friend and I hiked the Diamond Head Summit Trail which is the trail that leads to the top of the Diamond Head crater. This time of the year, hot. It was very scorching hot walking at the trails and it was very crowded. I seriously felt like I'm-never-gonna-make-it-to-the-top-because-it's-too-hot hot. Tip is to get there early since it opens very early at 6 am. Although even that time, I feel like the sun is already at its peak. I got there around 8:30 am after a stop at KCC Farmer's Market which was held across the street. This #hike has very easy and established trails to follow since it has railings. The path is very dry and a but uneven but it was very manageable to walk to. It is very family friend hike as a lot of families with children of all ages. There is also a lot of stairs in this hike. More so than what I wanted, though there's an option to skip those for winding lookout trail which I did. It took me about 1h50m to go up, enjoy the lookouts and take photos, and go back down the crater.

Excellent room and resort location. I’ll definitely be a return guest at Paradise Bay. Next time, I’ll take advantage of the kayaks and yoga activities on site. I absolutely loved my stay in Kaneohe, especially the day I spent at Kualoa Ranch and dinners at Haleiwa Joe’s in Haiku. Luckily, I was able to get around the Windward Side using a combination of the bus and ride sharing, but will probably rent a car next time.
