Kalalau Trail

As described in our post yesterday (see here), today we hiked the Na Pali Coast.  We hiked the early stretch from Ke'e Beach to Hanakapai'ai Beach. We definitely hit our 2 mile goal point in less than 3hrs which allowed us to enjoy the beach before the tide came in.  There was amazing pools of water where the fresh water from the Hanakapi'ai Falls met the salt ocean water.  Here are some of the photos from our amazing trek
