This is a rather tame walk on a paved path, but it holds a special place for the Eco-Traveler. It was here that the Eco-Muse laid the concept for this book at my feet. It happened on the way up and by the time I was back at the car, an outline and several chapters had been sketched. Apart from sentimental attachments, several features recommend this walk. One of the things I like about this path is that you have to step through or around a couple of gates, which gives the illusion that you're tredding on rare ground.
Older children can walk it themselves, as can their grandparents.
This is the southeast point of Oahu and the air that blows ashore here with the trade winds has been at sea for over 2,000 miles. It is cool, clean, soft. Your lungs will thank you. The cool rush of the tradewinds is also a welcome sensation to the skin. In this balmy place, giant cacti seem out of place.
