Waimea Falls Trek

Just returning from beautiful Oahu Hawaii where I took a trek through the Waimea Valley to Waimea Falls. Join me as I venture through the amazing gardens on my way to the falls.

Amazing that this is 7 years ago as I'm watching it on 4-25-24. Astonishing how you haven't aged any in that time. Hawaii sure is a pretty and intriguing place. Thank You for taking to the islands from the comfort of my easy chair in Alabama. You had a knack for excellent videography even back then. You are truly gifted. Keep posting and I'll keep watching. Stay Safe!! 🙏👍😎

[@randysmailbox]

Oh wow , those flowers! ive never seen anything like those. Beautiful ..

[@grantbentley4177]

OMG - how far you have come as a host and videographer. As you have figured out by now (4 years later) you can keep all your warmth and personality while dropping the obvious distractions and amping up the visual storytelling. Thanks for keeping this on your channel as every super group has a “Cavern Club” they played at many years prior.

[@CatherineGregoryAdventures]

Love your Beatles analogy! They are one of my all time faves. Yes...these old videos are quite embarrassing. I always hope no one goes back to watch them, but I think it is interesting to actually see the progression. My Cavern Club days. lol

[@chrisdenning9816]

Yes, fun to watch now after seeing your vids of today. Thanks.

[@shadowphantom2567]

I was stationed on Oahu from 82 - 85. I went swimming here a couple times. Hawaii is so beautiful! Expensive, but beautiful!

[@fatboywine]

An oldie but goodie; neat to see these and all the progress you've made over the years. Beautiful.

[@nitabanerjee9086]

As I am running 4yrs behind you. Still it is same enjoyble for me .I always feel that I am walking with you.My daughter my blessings is always with you.

[@bobspamail]

Hawaii, wow that’s a long drive in a truck camper! 😁 Beautiful scenery. I hope to go one day.

[@4460cows]

Went there way back in 1987 Thank you for the memory update. Simple bliss and beauty.

[@jamalmcgrath810]

This video just doesn't make it without you in that gorgeous shirt you were wearing. The color of blue really make you shine even more than other wise. You are a gorgeous woman !!!

[@robc.5745]

I'm watching this in October 2020 and really notice how you have grown as an artist and a videographer, Congrats, Lovely flowers.Thank you.

[@CatherineGregoryAdventures]

Thank you. This video is pretty bad. lol I can’t watch my old videos, but it is good to see my progression.

[@benoitbenoisbenoistchaine]

I was there 2015 Nov.. beautiful place ...

[@adventureismymiddlename3736]

Waimea Falls was one of my favorite places when I had visited Oahu. Thanks for sharing.

[@CatherineGregoryAdventures]

It's a really beautiful place. I've heard of an awesome hike there on Ohau called Crouching Lion, but understand it's difficult. I'd like to try that one next time I'm there. Thank you for watching!

[@johneason6540]

Loved this video also. Never have been to HI. I'm glad you have a a successful career that allows to make these videos for us. And you still are amazing especially on your newer ones with 4k. Just gorgeous. Also a quick thunderstorm just seems to clean everything up and make it prettier. Happy travels!

[@aaronnelson1099]

Great footage fellow nature nut!! Hawaii is Gods country! TFS!

[@wcole615]

You’ve come a long way:)! Literally;)?!

[@williambranham6249]

The scenery speaks for itself, but the music is magical.

[@mikes2082]

Hi Miss Cat!!!...... You like a fine wine..... increasingly more exquisite over time!!!

[@Oldtimecarpenter]

Beautifully done with outstanding photography as I’m watching this on a ffffreezing wet rainy day here in the northeast! Wish I was there right now! Thank Catherine! : )

[@shenandoah1322]

Have you read the book Descent Into Hell? That's the first thing I thought of when I saw your name.

[@donnakano282]

Thanks for the blast from my past. My old stomping grounds. Mahalo! :-)

[@garymay1146]

Mahalo and Aloha.Love it so much!

[@inthewoodswithbigfoot3941]

Sweet trip! I so want to go there... Hiking goals...

[@CatherineGregoryAdventures]

Goals for new adventures are always a good thing!

[@inthewoodswithbigfoot3941]

Oh yeah!

[@BBQDad463]

This video offers a fine showcase for the beauty of Hawai'i. Thanks!

[@CatherineGregoryAdventures]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@basecampchris]

I very much enjoyed that...so glad you had a nice time in Hawaii! ( Dr. Seusse"s garden = like that ) Thanks for sharing. :)

[@CatherineGregoryAdventures]

Thank you Chris! Thanks for watching. I usually get over there once a year. Love Hawaii. Have you been?

[@basecampchris]

Hi Catherine, I have not. I am hoping to finally go next year (2017). Looks amazing! I would like to see the Hawaii Volcanoes N.P. other than that what Island (s) would you recommend??

[@CatherineGregoryAdventures]

Well...the Big Island has a bit of everything and is the most diverse. If you want a less touristy experience, Kauai is a good choice. It is my favorite Island of them all and the smallest. The Garden Isle. Very beautiful...but really they all are. Maui is gorgeous, but it's definitely a big one for tourists. When I go to a tropical Island, I want to feel away from it all. I spend a lot of time on Oahu because it's where the Triple Crown of Surfing is held. I haven't mentioned it in my Vlogs, but I started my photography career as a Surf Photographer. Oahu has some world renowned surf breaks like Banzai Pipeline which I've photographed many times. I don't think I was very helpful with my answer. haha You really can't go wrong on any of them.

[@basecampchris]

Thank you Catherine! for the great Hawaii review, definitely the kind of info I'm looking for. I think less touristy would suit me, so Kauai would be great, I like to explore/ discover and be away as well. Then the big island would work to see the Volcanoe N.P. and whatever else it offers. That is so cool you are a surf photographer, I typed it in and found your video on Vimeo about your photography. Very nice, I would like to see your print work sometime.Awesome telephoto lens you work with, must be fun. I see you are a Canon person, me too. I shoot landscapes and vintage cars/ neon signs.

[@CatherineGregoryAdventures]

Oh...thank you. Yes, I still use my Canon for all non-hiking/backpacking photos. I am really impressed with my little Sony for use on the trail. Never would have guessed a point and shoot could perform so well. That's cool you shoot. I should have guessed by the quality of your videos.

[@GaryB94558]

I like the birds and flowers over there. Went to Waimea some years back

[@pyromaniac1491]

Thats a great place to hike. We use to hike there as kids. Big island has nice trails too!

[@CatherineGregoryAdventures]

So beautiful there! Thank you for watching.

[@williampotts5393]

My daughter. And Grandson lives there ...now. Hubby Navy man .

[@TimIrvin]

WHAT? A Catherine Gregory video on my YT feed that I haven't seen? I thought I had binged them all! WAIT ,wait, wait... that's not Catherine Gregory. That's some high school girl on her senior trip.

[@johnod1955]

That was very nice, thanks, music was great as well.:)

[@beeamerica5024]

⭐⭐⭐⭐👍 beautiful

[@Mehmet-hn9fw]

Hello,again everything is so beautiful.

[@CatherineGregoryAdventures]

Thank you! :)

[@randysmith6493]

Awesome majestic tree on the hillside near the end of the video.

[@kennybunker2081]

Your photo of yourself by the waterfall is calendar quality.

[@WestShoreMan]

I was the best man in my friends wedding there. Very spiritual experience and so beautiful.

[@dennisdombroski6946]

Of all the flowers you were the prettiest

[@rvboondocker2559]

Most people don’t realize that’s you playing the guitar! Fantastic!

[@CatherineGregoryAdventures]

😂😂😂

[@doubleagle1turtle2]

Raised my three kids in Hawaii. Close too being a paradise. 🐕🐕🚴‍♂️

[@kerrywilliams2490]

Catherine all I have to say is that your a beauty young lady. Enjoy your videos. You need a weekley TV program.

[@CatherineGregoryAdventures]

😊😊

[@donstravelsandrants.]

Oahu is on my bucket list.

[@pamelaandrade6930]

Beautiful.

[@Hiker63]

Beautiful

[@CatherineGregoryAdventures]

It really is! Even in the rain.

[@mikelowrie8957]

very nice video Katherine

[@Mehmet-hn9fw]

Nature is beautiful, you are more beautiful...

[@CatherineGregoryAdventures]

Thank you!

[@speshul7525]

Great music

[@Scrambler85]

New subscriber here, thumbs up for the thumbnail

[@GeorgeS68]

I must of traveled for business to the island half a dozen times and I never made this hike! Dang! :[

[@SanDiegopolitical]

Nice!

[@CatherineGregoryAdventures]

Thank you Jill!

[@soccerelite8807]

Have you visited Maui (my home)? Hiked/Camped in Haleakala?

[@veronicacastaneda4088]

Love your video are you using a GoPro camera because the videos came out so beautiful

[@CatherineGregoryAdventures]

Thank you Veronica. I'm using a Sony RX100 III.

[@GaryB94558]

No snakes in Hawaii. That's why the birds are still there. There are no birds on Guam. The brown snake took care of every last one

[@dianediane1245]

Have you hiked Kauai?

[@speshul7525]

I love Hawaii. There are so many people. Ruining paradise

[@alanstordal5621]

Great "EyE"📸

[@MeenersKitchen]

How far is Waimea Falls/Valley from Waimea beach? Could we go to the beach then walk to the trail?

[@CatherineGregoryAdventures]

Not far! The park is right behind Waimea beach on the other side of Kam Hwy. You could walk there. It’d be a few miles each way.

[@mikol.douglas]

Did you drive there too!? 🤣

[@CatherineGregoryAdventures]

😂😂

[@veronicacastaneda4088]

Do you think it's okay or safe to take a two-and-a-half-year-old there

[@CatherineGregoryAdventures]

It is absolutely safe. It's a very family friendly spot and an easy hike all on paved road. They actually have shuttles that will drive you to and from the falls if you don't want to do the hike with a toddler. I recommend at least hiking one way so you can really see all the beautiful flowers.

[@larrymcgeachy5090]

what is the music?
