\nThe Kalalau Trail is one of the most well-known among hikers and travelers. You can hike as little or as much as you\u2019d like, just make sure you dress ready to walk and pack your essentials in a backpack (water, snacks, sunblock, etc.). The first two miles lead to Hanakapiai Beach and beyond that, it\u2019s campers only. The rust-hued soil alongside the deep greens alone make for a great hike. A bright, clear day with clouds floating by will make you feel as if you\u2019ve tackled great heights, and with this trail, you have.<\/p>\n
\nThe explorer will revel in the Awa\u2019awapuhi Trail, a strenuous hike. Trek a grassy terrain for views of Awaawapuhi and Nualolo Valleys from a rewarding height. Rainforest setting, a hike that\u2019s tougher on the return trip, 2000\u2019 elevation, and an option to continue to another nine miles on the Nualolo Trail are all facets of a winner\u2019s walk.<\/p>\n
\nNot all incredible hikes are at great heights and require athletic fortitude. Two-mile Hanalei Bay, from Kolokolo Point to Puu Poa Point is a good activity as a family or couple. The crescent-shaped bay area, white sand perfection and a ton of blue hues as the water deepens all create an idyllic island experience. Hideaway\u2019s Beach <\/strong>offers a brief hike from Pali Ke Kua with a view of cliffs, forest and sea.<\/p>\n
\nA walk with lava cliffs, native trees, the sparkling bay waters. Pack a picnic and consider continuing to Tunnels Beach is for a remote walk that is lengthy but not overexerting.<\/p>\n
\nThe\u00a0Okolehau Trail, for more experienced hikers, begins at the Hanalei National Wildlife Refuge and reaches an elevation of 1,200 feet in the Halele\u2019a Forest Reserve. The wildlife refuge is home to five endangered birds (Hawaiian duck, coot, moorhen, stilt and goose) that consider Hanalei Valley a source for nesting and feeding.<\/p>\n
\nPowerline Trail is one for adventurers, 13 miles from Princeville to Keahua Arboretum. It\u2019s a big messy\u2014mud, dirt and a primitive ambiance. Some of the viewpoints are worth the trip and other parts of the hike are simply grassy areas.<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>The reward for the trail to Queen\u2019s Bath is the pool itself, naturally formed in a lava shelf. It is a remote path, with native trees and a waterfall. It\u2019s a small hike, but one that can be eventful if you\u2019re not prepared. See the mountains and the sea from the lava pool.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
