On Saturday, January 21, 2012, the Kona Hiking Club will hike one way along the Kona shoreline from the Old Airport to the Honokohau Harbor. The hike covers about 3.5 miles of rough, but very interesting and unique terrain. A swim and picnic lunch will be possible at the completion of the hike or join us at Bite Me Fish Market Bar & Grill. They have great fish tacos. Also, there will be an option to swim/snorkel in Pawai Bay along the trail.
Visitors as well as residents are invited to participate in this outing and there is no charge. Hikers will meet and park at the south side of Honokohau Harbor at 8:30 a.m. and carpool to the the Old Airport to start the one way hike. The trail is over rough lava, so wear good hiking shoes. Hiking sticks are recommended. Hikers need to be prepared for potentially hot, sunny weather, so carry at least two liters of water per person and use sun protection. It’s whale season, so you might want to bring binoculars, too.
For additional information, please phone Kathleen at 557-9246.
