Makapuu Lighthouse Trail and Tide Pools

We took a 45-minute hike to the top of a ridge and according to some of my co-workers there is an off trail down the side of a cliff that leads to beautiful tide pools. Andrew and I decided to be adventurous and follow a group of other people headed down the rock wall like mountain goats. To my surprise this was one of the scariest hikes I have ever done prior to Stairway to Heaven, due to the magnitude of the sheer cliff side and steep embankment with loose pebbles. Andrew really had to coach me down and keep me calm, but in the end when we reached the bottom and bathed in the azure pacific it was magnificent. The climb back up wasn’t nearly as treacherous. Overall it was a great place to cool off after the hike and I enjoyed spying underwater on all the zebra blennies.
