Old Pali Hike

Darrick has duty today which usually makes for a long day so I thought the boys and I should go somewhere. I was looking for something FREE, so it would fit into our budget! I read in one of our books about a 1 mile hike that is on a paved road and "stroller friendly" so I thought I could combine an outing with my workout.

So we packed up and headed for Old Pali Road Hike. The drive was so beautiful! So green and lush. The hike starts at a lookout point and it was awesome, we will definitly be taking visitors there. The hike started out on a wide paved path. The boys walked some since it was downhill and a flat path. Again, the views were breath taking. We would stop and look at plants and birds. We stopped by a banyan tree to look and Micah noticed a nest tucked in the roots of the tree with white eggs in them! Micah was thrilled at his discovery!

The path kept getting more narrow and the plants were covering the path at parts, which would of been fine except I had the double exercise stroller. The path kept going downhill and the boys were having so much fun but I decided that we should turn around since the entire way up would be uphill. They both wanted to ride and I pushed them as far as I could. I was sweating and breathing hard. I had Micah get out and walk and that helped. After a little while he got back in and I pushed then both again. I think them plus the stroller is 70 lbs. Micah walked the last little bit to the top. It was a great workout and another chance to see another part of the island!
