A sixteen year old, was hiking with some friends when he decided to waunder off the trail. He ended up falling off a cliff. He fell 25 feet and landed on some rocks. Luckily, a doctor who had been hiking nearby, was able to assist him until help arrived.<\/p>\n<p>I have hiked dozens of trails on <strong>Oahu<\/strong>. I am not an expert by any meands, but I do know the trails. Here are two bits of advice for anyone hiking in <strong>Hawaii<\/strong>: 1) Make sure you bring plenty of water and 2) Stay on the trail. This is essential advice if you are going to hike in <strong>Hawaii<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>I can&#8217;t emphasize\u00a0 enough the importance of staying on the trail while you hike in the islands. For one, the foliage can make it seem you can safely\u00a0step off the trial, but do not be fooled. You could be stepping into outer space. Be careful.<\/p>\n<p>The victim in the story was hiking at the <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.nps.gov\/history\/maritime\/light\/makapuu.htm\" title=\"The Makapuu Lighthouse\">Makapuu Lighthouse.<\/a>\u00a0This hike is very atypical from most Hawaiian hikes. Most Oahu trails, are on dirt. The\u00a0Makapuu trail is on rocky cliffs. The trail may\u00a0be marked by guides painted on the rock. This is one hike where you do not want to take chances. The cliffs are high and steep.<\/p>\n<p>The lighthouse itsef is worth a look. You will see sweeping visitas of the entire windward coast. You can also get a clean view of Rabbit Island off the caost of Waimanalo. On a clear day you can see <strong>Molokai<\/strong> and <strong>Maui<\/strong>. If you hapen to be hiking between November and April, you may be lucky enough to see Whales\u00a0blowing and breaching right off the coast.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"200\" src=\"http:\/\/www.nps.gov\/history\/maritime\/light\/graphic\/makapuu.gif\" alt=\"The Makapuu Light House\" height=\"305\" style=\"width: 200px; height: 305px\" title=\"The Makapuu Light House\" \/><br \/>\n\u00a0<em><font size=\"1\" face=\"Arial\">NPS photo by James P.

Follow this road and look for a hidden fishing spot\u00a0below you on the\u00a0ocean.\u00a0Follow the trail down to the ocean and you will be rewarded by an amazing sight. In addition to the views, you will be able to experience what few tourists ever experience. You will be able to see an incredible lava tube which forms a blow hole. Be careful and don&#8217;t get to close. Remember to be careful as you hike.<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\" style=\"text-align: center\">If you hike on Hawaii, always remember: take plenty of water, <strong>stay on the trail<\/strong> and always have fun!
