5.0 out of 5 stars Hiking On Oahu For Dummies, July 18, 1999

By	Matt Santos ([e-mail]) (Washington, D.C.) - See all my reviews

I recently read and used the 93' version of the book. This is a great hiking manual for the island of Oahu. The author does such a great job of describing each step of your hike that you can't make a mistake. In the reading you can visualize what the hikes will entail before deside which one you would like to take. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced hiker this book will be of much value to you. The revision should have valuable information about certain changes to the trails listed as well as some additions. May the 8 people who lost thier lives at Sacred Falls in early 1999 rest in peace and my deepest regards to thier families.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good information, July 21, 2008

By	Alien fan - See all my reviews

This review is from: Oahu Trails: Walks, Strolls And Treks on the Capital Isle (Paperback)

I read the book but didn't get to do much hiking while I was in Hawaii because of the time restraints. I'll be sure to use it next year when I go again.
