NaPali Coast Hike

     The most-recommended hike was the NaPali Coast Hike.  We tried to do this one the first day there, but it was closed due to flooding.  This was a perfect day for this hike.  We started off bright and early which I was greatful for...it got hot.  These were all the warning signs at the beginning...you'd think we didn't value our lives. 
     This hike is two miles to the beach and then two more miles to the waterfall.  It's pretty steep with a consistant incline, but the views are amazing. 

The water was high at the beach so it was rocky, but there was moss covering the rocks which made it really beautiful.  The water wasn't safe to swim in but fun to watch the immpressive waves. 

 

 

     Two more miles and you get to this beautiful waterfall.   Don't be fooled....it's gigantic!  I couldn't get a picture of the whole thing, too tall. 

 

 

     There were a few pools along the way that we swam in.  The trick is finding the sunny pools.  This is Corey looking like a Utahan in winter.  The rest of the day we spent beach hopping, snorkeling and body boarding at Hanalei Bay.
