Kauai Highlights

The Powerline Trail had great views but was very hot to hike, it was up in the mountains and too far from the beach to get a decent trade wind. Plus the sound of, not too distant, gun shots made us a little nervous, there were hunters up there getting boar.
'Opaeka'a Falls and the Wailua River, were very pretty. The falls were inaccessible from the bottom (somethings about death or getting severely hurt kept us from trying).:



We hiked to a little falls, I don't know the name of it but it was a great little hike and a very beautiful place to just hangout.


We headed up to the north shore to go to Queen's Bath to enjoy a little dip in a beautiful tide pool, but the waves were a little too ferocious. We sat and enjoyed the power of the waves and watched sea turtles feeding in the surf. On the hike down to the beach there is nice little waterfall as well.








And we of course visited the "Grand Canyon of the Pacific", Wiamea Canyon. I was amazed at how huge it is. We also took a hike along the ridge of the Napali coast line on the Pihea Trail. (Great views everywhere we went)


We were able to get up and watch the sunrise over the ocean every morning (well, we may have missed a couple of mornings).




That was our trip in a nutshell, most importantly we were able to relax and take everything at our own pace.

Much love to you and

Aloha!!
