Na Pali Coast, Kaua'i




In May, we visited the island of Kaua'i, and hiked the Kalalau Trail along the Na Pali coast. We spent three days in total, hiking in 11 miles one day, then camping for two nights before hiking out again.

In some places it was a little bit frightening since it was narrow.
