Upper Manoa Falls

The infinity pool

Recently did Upper Manoa Falls, which has been gaining a lot of popularity on social media lately. It's a relatively short hike that leads to multiple waterfalls and an amazing view of Manoa Valley. This blog is not intended to give directions so if you know the name of the hike I'm sure you could find another site with directions. There is a "hike" to get to the hike (quotes on hike because I wouldn't really consider it a hike). After you reach the end of the first part you have to trail off a bit and the fun begins.

To get to the infinity pool it only took me about 5-10 minutes, but then again I like to rock climb. If you aren't comfortable rock climbing or scaling things, you may want to reconsider. But you basically go uphill for a bit and then you will have to climb up with the aid of roots and rocks. There are actually a lot of footholds and handholds but it is practically a 90 degree incline. Once you've passed the climbing part you're pretty much there. There are quite a few ropes that have been put in to help get to the infinity pool.
