| This was the first hike I did when I arrived in Kauai. The view from the top gives you a good overview of the east part of the island. Go all the way to the top for a great 360 view! | |

| 08/06/11- Took this peak out at sunrise. I recommend it for watching the sunrise over Kauai. Took 33 minutes to get to the Top and 17 mins to get down. | |

| wyopeakMike | Aloha view | |
| Mt wife and I hiked up the standard trail on a beautiful day in May 2006 when visiting Kauai with my parents. It is a fun section to get to the real summit, almost a scramble. The views are spectacular with so much ocean to see. The only island peak I have ever done, what a treat. | |

| seeksit | Made the best of a bad weather day in paradise Date Climbed: Aug 12, 2009 | |
| Remnants of Hurricane Felicia blowing through Kaua'i today brought a lot of clouds and showers, so we were looking for a short hike to squeeze in. This was it. Very humid day and muddy trail, but lots of good views down over the Waimea River and beach and our hotel in Kapa'a. We're having a great time here. Did the helicopter tour circling the island on Monday: awesome experience! | |

| This is one hot and humid mountain in the middle of the day, but it would be a pleasure to be up on that airy ridge at dawn. | |

| BLT | West trail Date Climbed: Sep 16, 2007 | |
| Nice humid hike up the West trail. Regarding the fermenting berries: I concur. | |

| No one has mentioned that in September there are several hundred thousand fermenting/rotting berries (sandalwood berries or guavas?) on the trail. The smell is overpowering. Overpowering in another way is the very narrow knifeblade of ridge betwen the forehead (or maybe nose?) and the nose (or maybe chin?)of the sleeping giant, the true summit. My wife of 2 days declined to join me. | |

| MelbaToast | East side trail | |
| Hiked this with my kids after a heavy rain - we pretty much had to throw our shoes away cuz they were covered with red mud that stained. We picked awapuhi and took it back to the hotel to wash our hair. Lots of guava bushes but no ripe fruit. Wish to hell I'd brought a camera! | |
