This hike is worth the many stream crossings and the up and down terrain. Start your adventure at the end of the road on the North Shore at Ke'e Beach, to hike the first two miles of the Kalalau Trail. The trail will climb steadily for the first mile to an elevation of 400 feet. Don’t let this discourage you, as soon as you reach the first ½ mile vista, you will be rewarded with sweeping views of the Napali Coastline and an aerial view of Kee Beach. As you continue on the trail, switching from ocean views to scenic valley beauty, you will see wonderful little waterfalls and all the beauty nature offers. In the final descent to the beach. your muddy, tired and hot feet will be very happy to see the Hanakapiai Stream that is fed from the waterfall 2 miles up. Wade across the stream to the beach, but before you continue on to the falls make sure to enjoy Hanakapiai Beach for a few moments, best spent sitting in the cold stream cooling down before the next portion of your journey. Note that the ocean here isn't suggested for swimming. Even when it looks calm there is quite a current and shore break. For those that continue on to the falls be ready for a 760 foot elevation gain from the beach. You will switch back and forth over the stream as the trail winds through bamboo forests, mountain apple trees and vines which are scattered throughout. Be careful towards the end when you get closer to the falls. There are slippery spots that are narrow and can be slightly dangerous if you're not paying attention. When you arrive you are rewarded with a breathtaking 300 foot waterfall with a wonderful swimming area below, which is fantastic to cool off in after your hard work. Make sure to bring a lunch and some water so you can spend some time enjoying this once-in-a-lifetime view. When you are all ready to head back to the real world, just return back the way you came. The total trip is 8 miles and takes around 5 hours so make sure you give yourselves enough time on the day you choose to do this hike. Also be aware of weather as if it's raining the stream will rise very quickly and this is how some get stuck in the valley and have to be airlifted out.
