Crouching Lion Hike: A Walk through the Jungle [CLOSED]

July 15, 2021 Angela Collard Comments 7 comments

2021 UPDATE: This trail is closed. The Crouching Lion is a formidable hike, only for experienced hikers.

Want to feel like Tarzan for a day? This is your jungle! The Crouching Lion is also known as the Pu’u Manamana. Pu’u in Hawaiian…

May 28, 2020 Andrew Coghill Comments 0 Comment

Finding the Pipiwai Trail Where is everybody? Early in the morning I stood in the middle of the Hana Highway, 12 miles south of the town of Hana, without a car in sight and the only noise a remembrance of waves from the Pacific Ocean crashing beside my overnight campsite.
