The difficulty of this trail and remote location of Kalalau Valley make this a pristine nature experience off the beaten trail. Some say that the Na Pali is one of the most beautiful coastlines in the world. The trail traverses 5 valleys (ie-constantly going up and down for a total elevation gain/loss of 5,000') before ending at Kalalau Beach where it is blocked by sheer cliffs. The 11 mile trail ( + 5 miles of optional side trails to see water falls) is graded, almost never level as it crosses above towering sea cliffs and through lush valleys. The trail drops to sea level at the beaches of Hanakapi’al and Kalalau. Trail conditions may range from muddy puddles to dry, crumbly rock near cliff’s edge. Eroding cliffs and big surf sometimes take out small sections of trail. Rated “9” out of “10” in difficulty by the Sierra Club. |
