| - When I saw Tracy P.'s check-in and read her review, I knew that I wanted to do this "hike". I like rabbits in general, so when I saw photos of the Tortoise and the Hare, I was even more motivated to exercise during my vacation on the "9th Hawaiian Island".
Tracy & I met for the first time on the top level of the M Resort's parking garage. She was as cheerful and energetic in person as she is onlline! I'm really gald I went with her, because she had great ideas on where to park and is an excellent conversationalist and tour guide. I'm happy that we started at the beginning of the Trail because I felt that I didn't miss anything.
Seeing things in a photograph vs. seeing it in real life is so different. Up close, I was amazed at how the benches, the rest stops, and the sculptures are created - using thick wire as the frame and rocks/cement stones inside the frame. The desert, in the cool morning, was so vast and beautiful...I truly enjoyed the novelty and colors of the sandy environment and cactus since I'm surrounded by tropical shrubs and climate at home in Hawaii.
I enjoyed the Mile Markers along the way and the informational signs that described the various wildlife that inhabit the area. It's a well-done, flat trail with a map at the beginning that shows the options for your day's journey. Our fellow walkers were all nice & friendly! I would walk this trail again for sure with my visor, water bottle, and walking partner!
Mahalo to Tracy for a wonderful experience!!
