The Na Pali Coast

Day 3 brought us to a most beautiful, treacherous, gorgeous, slippery, rocky, amazing and muddy hike.  "Watch your step!"  I loved it!!
Hanakapi`ai Beach Trail

To our left we found water falls and steep luscious tropical terrain.  To our right the trail gave way to more shrubbery descending to cliffs where we could hear the thunderous pounding of the waves crashing against the rocks.
At the start, we thought we may be hit with a rain shower, but midway through the hike, the clouds parted and the sun appeared.  The green colors suddenly popped and we stood in awe!




Near the end... looking a little rugged!
I found this little movie that shows the hiking trail.  However, the dry paths from the movie were RED MUCK for us!  And the calm beach at the end of their trail was actually a wild raging sea for us!
