Sommer, Chas, Anale`a, Olena and I headed up Ka`iwa Ridge to the Lanikai pillboxes for a Thanksgiving morning sunrise hike.

After starting a little later than I would like, we got to the first bunker just as the peaked above the clouds.

Another great start to the day! From the bunkers we headed mauka and past Pu`u Lanikai and on to Keolu Hills.

Ka`iwa Ridge/Keolu Hills is so beautiful in the morning. The trail offers great views of Kailua, Waimanalo and the Ko`olau ridge.

Soon we decided to make our way off the ridge and had Kai come pick us up and take us back to our car back in Lanikai.
