H-3 FREEWAY AND HALAWA VALLEY

A spectacular view of the H-3 Freeway as it turns just before it enters tunnels which cut through the Koolau Mountains.  This is the most expensive freeway in the United States on a per mileage basis.

 


 

KAWIPOO PUU

The Aiea Ridge Trail follows this ridge to the Koolau summit.  Before reaching the summit there is a small peak in the center of the picture named Kawipoo.  I took this name as my geocaching nickname.

 


 

LOOKING DOWN ON H-3

Looking directly down through the trees on H-3.  While hiking on the trail you can hear the noise of traffic on H-3.  Previous to the opening of H-3 the loop trail was very quiet.
