Kauai Travel Blog Photos › entry 1 of 1 › view all entries

Backpacking the Kalalau Trail has been by far the most amazing adventure of my life. This 11 mile cliff side trail along Kauai's Na Pali coastline has breathtaking views, gorgeous waterfalls, raging rivers, lush tropical plant life and hidden secluded beaches. Not to mention the exhilarating and challenging hike itself!
