Na Pali Coast Kalalau Trail

This wasn't the most strenuous hike of this trip, but it was the most beautiful by far.

After the hike, we visited a few beaches, had some tasty food, then returned the rental car. The rest of the trip will be relaxing at the resort until we leave tomorrow!

Waimea Canyon

There is a giant canyon on the south east side of Kaua'i that we decided to check out today, thinking it would be dryer than the northwest side of the island where we wanted to hike. 

We were wrong about the weather and got drenched, but the canyon is incredible!

Hiking!

Today I hiked up the side of one of the ridges: 1250' elevation gained in less than 2 miles! I continued past the scenic outlook onto a less maintained ridge-line trail. It was steep, overgrown, and had sharp drop offs on both sides, but the view was incredible! According to the guidebook, 1/5 of the island can be seen from up there!

Kauai!

From my run this morning...

These two are in Kapaa, where the yurt is!

This Boy

Helps me begin my day with kisses and end in peace. I love him!

(Some shenanigans in the middle, of course!)

spring

I run around the lake almost every morning, but it wasn't until I slowed down tonight that I saw this stunning sign of spring!

Hiking

Yay! I got out into the woods yesterday! Everything is So Much Greener than I've ever seen it and the waterfalls are rushing. It was a great day.

I even got some ocean time!

Sunday Funday

Today I slept in and then got things done around the apartment before Ellie and I went to Half Moon Bay for a beautiful bike ride along the ocean. We had fog, wind, and drizzle to begin, but then it cleared up for a beautiful day!

Chilly!

We love the ocean!

It was such a great day
