GoPro cameras are high up on the list of things we love here at SunnySports, most notably for their ability to bring the remote world to a larger audience, and showcase what’s worth preserving. Because of GoPro’s incredible versatility, almost every corner of the planet has been recorded, and viewers are being treated to sights they may have never seen without it.

We found a terrific example of these soaring vistas in this GoPro video filmed on the left fork of Hawaii’s Bear Claw Ridge in Waimanalo, Oahu. This hike is not supplemented with ropes or even any kind of discernible trail, yet the bravehearted continue to make this climb year after year. Survivors are treated to sweeping 360-degree panoramas of the island, brilliant azure seas, and other various peaks of the island. Although the views are impressive, we’re glad to be safely on the ground for this virtual tour of Bear Claw Ridge!
