Kalalau Valley

We drove to the end of Waimea Canyon Rd. and this is what we found, Kalaulau Valley. According to our snorkeling captain, this was the location of the largest native Kauaiian colony. This was years ago though, long before the island was discovered by foriegners. We took a mile hike (oneway) to the far side of the top of the mountain. It wasn't too bad until it started getting really muddy and almost vertical ascent. We made it though! We came back and promptly ate 2 PB&Js each. It's been a great vacation so far...and the best part is it's only half over!!! Yay for another week on Kauai!
