There’s nothing like the feeling of being completely immersed in a forest, surrounded by everything green, fresh and beautiful. Here are a few pictures to share my recent hike on the Waihou Springs trail, near the top of Olinda Road, above the town of Makawao.
Entering the pine forest at the start of the trail.
Surrounded by cool, calming trees, everywhere you look!
The switchback trail going down to the springs.
Looking up at the rock face that the springs come through. Yes, originally we were at the top of that and would be walking all the way back up!
One of the many streams of the springs.

What a beautiful day! While I always knew it intuitively, there’s a science to the peace that forests bring. See this article at SFGate for the whole story.
