Check out the June 2014 issue of Hawaii magazine for some scoop on some favorite hiking trails and especially a photo feature on three days in Waimanu Valley, one of my highlight trips as well.

See some photos from a very memorable visit there in the Big Island section of Adventurer’s Hawai’i. I remember it well for its remote beauty, and the up and down trail sections before the final steep switchback drop to the valley floor itself.

The issue also includes some excerpts from Brother Noland’s new book, The Hawaiian Survival Handbook , which provides local insider’s info on subjects like How to Avoid a Wild-Pig Attack and other topics of interest to adventurers in the great Hawaii outdoors! The book will be available beginning July 15th and is published by Watermark Publishing.
