Lush vegetation along the Kalalau Trail, Napali Coast Wilderness State Park, Kauai, Hawaii<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The Kalalau Trail along Kauai’s verdant north shore is arguably one of the finest hikes in the world.\u00a0Originally built in the late 1800’s to link early Hawaiian settlements along the rugged coastline, it is\u00a0still the only\u00a0land access to this remote part of the Island.<\/p>\n

The trail, which starts at the end of the road at Ke’e Beach, hugs the sheer cliffs along Napali Coast Wilderness State Park and traverses 5 valleys before ending at Kalalau Beach where the pali (Hawaiian for cliffs) create a natural terminus.<\/p>\n

Along this mystical\u00a0journey\u00a0you\u00a0pass verdant spires, wander through lush valleys, and are left with the feeling that you’ve truly entered the Lost World (not surprising\u00a0since both\u00a0King Kong and Jurassic Park were\u00a0filmed here).<\/p>\n

Whether you cover the entire 11 mile distance and camp at Kalalau Beach or take an afternoon hike to Hanakapi’ai Beach to sample the dense jungle and golden afternoon light, this is the quintessential Na Pali Coast experience.<\/p>\n
