Hiker dies after fall on Olomana hiking trail

It was so sad and jarring to hear that 44-year-old Ryan Suenaga of Kaneohe died this past Sunday while hiking on the Olomana trail.

For me, hearing about this was a reminder that we are not invincible, and accidents CAN happen on hiking trails. I'm not saying not to hike, but I do think that we should be cautious, especially when hiking more difficult or dangerous trails, like Olomana or Stairway to Heaven. I think that a lot of people think that it could never happen to them - but accidents can happen to anyone...

Here is a nice article that was written about Ryan Suenaga:

May he rest in peace...
