Today would be the first day of a three-day backpacking trip on the Nä Pali Coast of Kaua’i. In the morning we flew from Maui to Kauai. It was an uneventful flight on Island Air, with some good views of several of the Islands along the way. The descent into Lihu’e was exciting with cliffs on both sides of the aircraft! Once on the ground we retrieved our luggage and got a cab to Walmart where we would catch a bus up to Hanalei. After putting our luggage in storage at Kayak Kaua’i we thumbed rides up to the end of the road and the trailhead for the Kalalau Trail.
We didn’t travel too far this first day; only two miles to Hanakäpï’ai Beach. This was a beautiful setting for camping with a 150 yd long beach with a nice stream running through the middle. The remainder of the afternoon was spent lounging on the beach and setting up camp. All in all, a nice end to a busy day.
