Day 8

This day was supposed to be our field day; however, our tour guide did not show up... so we decided to hike it! We thought it was just going to be a chill few mile hike, we thought wrong. It turned out to be nearly 8 miles total, all uphill up to the top and all downhill on the way down. BRUTAL! This was my least favorite day. One bright side was for sure the memories we all made along the way. It will forever be a day I will never forget. In addition, it was interesting to see the landscape that Hawaii has. For example, on the way to the Forest Reserve we could see the lava that covers most the land. Throughout the hike, I noticed the dryness of the agriculture throughout the Reserve, but I found it fascinating that native plants and animals could grow healthy lives in such a dry atmosphere.Weiterlesen
