The awesome shoreline views grabbed our attention throughout this portion of the hike as did the jet plane sounding crash of the surf. When we arrived at Hanakapi'ai Beach we sat mesmerized for a long time by the show on display, swells that must have been in the twenty foot range crashing into the lava shelf. Only perhaps a quarter mile section of this hike was muddy, on the way up to the falls. These were an impressive sight indeed but neither of us ventured very far into the pool. Last slog up the steep hill between the beach and trailhead was a drainer in the humidity, we took breaks enjoying the views of the coast time and again. Great hike. |
