Wiliwilinui ridge trail and afraid of heights
Hi! I just got married and my husband wants to do the wiliwilinui ridge trail. I love hiking, but I have an actual phobia of heights when I am about 4 feet or closer to a steep dropoff. Will I have a problem with this hike? I don’t want to get there and not be able to do it / disappoint him.
If you don’t think this is a good trail for me, can you recommend a hike that is scenic at a high elevation but a wide trail so that my phobia isn’t a problem? At least to where I can hug an inside wall to feel secure? An example would be the Kīlauea Iki trail, I was shaking at the knees when we did it the other day on the steep switchbacks, but I was able to be as close as possible to the tall areas on the inside so that I felt safer.
