Kauai: Ke'e & Kalalau Trail

We left early for Ke'e Beach at the end of the road and got a parking space next to the showers and the trailhead. Found a shady spot on the beach. The few that were there were either beginning their hike or snorkeling above the reef. If you walked down the beach, you could get a peek at the Na Pali coast. I took a jog, and Cyndi took several walks. As the morning progressed, a crowd showed up. We spent most of the day there but hiked a bit before we left.








On the trail toward Na Pali, a small, windy overlook about a mile in. A very steep ascent. Thankfully the weather couldn't be more perfect, so the trail was not slippery and muddy.





We picked up some juice and smoothies at Aloha juice stand and some produce at Papaya's organic market, in Hanalei, and now we are appreciating the last our maitais. Cyndi's got some local sweet potatoes, salad and mango salsa, and I'll cook the opah. Some of our pineapples on the kitchen sill.



Tomorrow is the last day. Our plane leaves in the evening.
