Tantalus, Pali Lookout, & Ho‘omaluhia

One of our favorite things to do in Hawaii has been going on hikes, so Kelson's foot injury was a real bummer for us. On an afternoon when Kelson got off work early, we decided to go to some cool lookouts that we could reach by car with minimal walking. It was a good substitute for going on a hike. Our first stop was Tantalus lookout, which overlooks downtown Honolulu and Diamond Head.

Beautiful!

Sarah was asleep, so we had a peaceful drive up and back down the mountain and then stopped at the Pali Lookout on our way through the mountains to the east side of the island.

This sign was placed at the entrance to the lookout. It was especially concerning because it was amazingly windy there. Scary!

Unfortunately, it was too cloudy up there to see much of the view. On the bright side, we didn't get attacked by any bees.

From there, we went to the Ho‘omaluhia Botanical Garden in Kaneohe. There were all kinds of cool trees and plants to look at, and it was free. Score!

We also finally got to see wild pigs. The baby ones were so cute!
