Story

Tara and I started hiking from the Puu Hinahina Viewpoint at about 9:45. We reached the top of Waipo'o Falls by 10:30. We took some pictures at the top of the falls and in front of the upper cascades. Then we hiked upstream to the upper waterfall. We explored a bit and took some more pictures before starting our hike back at 10:45. One the hike back, we took the Cliff Trail out to the overlook, arriving at the overlook around 11:15. Then we backtracked to the main trail and arrived back at the trailhead by 11:30. Total hiking time was a little less than 1 hour and 45 minutes.
