Day 4 was our hike out - 3.7 miles - up the side of a mountain on switchbacks. It was overcast and drippy but not really raining most of the time.

Once we got to the trailhead, Eric had to hitch hike to the top to get our car. We timed how long it took for him to get picked up: 3rd car stopped and it was 11 minutes of waiting! After we came down from the mountain, we had lunch at Fatt Chicks Burgers -- DELISH!
After lunch, we headed to the airport, dropped off the rental car and took and early flight back to Kona. All in all - a great trip. It had been on the bucket list and it did not disappoint!
