Splash of Kauai

Kalalau Valley appears from below the clouds..

It has been a while since I had been on this trail.  It seems that it need a little work.

The stairs going down to the  stream are looking a bit unsafe.

At least there seems to be a path next to the stairs.

Going slow seems to be the best option.

Here is a piece of the new trail.  The new trail is only one board wide. The boards are also less wide than the old boards.

This is a section of the old trail with ferns growing over it.

It is a little hard to get around this one. The mud is deeper than it looks too.

This one someone tried to make it a little easier.

I must say that the trail was in better condition the last time I was on it.

It is getting more challenging.

Now which one to step on.

It is like a spring board for mud diving.

There are lots of parts about they just need to be put together.

Here we switch to the new board.  Notice the difference in width.  If you meet someone it will be more apparent.

A bit of a puzzle here.

The view from Kilohana.  Wainiha Valley with Hanalei Bay in the distance.  the usual view from here is a white out.
