On the island of Kaua'i, a must see are the beautiful views of the Kalalau Valley lookout in the mountains of Koke'e. This amazing and breathtaking view can be seen from an even better vantage point if you get to hike the Kalepa Ridge Trail. Photographers, Bryce Johnson and Mychael Henry set out to do just that for an afternoon of pristine weather conditions and sites. Amazing views, great weather and a few hammocks to enjoy the view, what could be better! Here are the results from their adventure.

The Pillbox Hiking Trail (also known as the Ka'iwa Ridge Trail) is a local favorite to catch some amazing panoramic views of Oahu's eastern coastline. Taking only about 20 minutes to reach the highest point, this trail overlooks some of Kailua's best attractions including Lanikai Beach, the Mokulua Islands and Waimanalo to name a few. The two "pillboxes" along the trail were once used as bunkers for the military as look out points. Now days we just use them to get a better look of the beautiful scenery! Standing up on the boxes you cant help but take it all in and say, "Lucky We Live Hawaii!"
Over on Oahu's most southeastern coastline, is the beautiful views of Makapu'u Trail. This hike is not too strenuous, and if you get to the top the view is magnificent! Along the way you will be able to overlook both Koko Head and Koko Crater. When in season, its also a great trail to spot humpback whales and seabirds. On a clear days like these, you maybe even lucky enough to spot the islands of Moloka'i and Lana'i. Here is a little peak into final destination, but its so much better to see in person! - Lucky We Live Hawaii
