Скачать или смотреть Waimea Canyon Kauai l Hiking to Awa'awapuhi trailhead

Today I found my love of Kaua’i!
An incredible 12k ridge hike through the Waimea Canyon to the Awa’awapuhi trailhead. The sheer drops down to the ocean were mind blowing and this old volcanic landscape was incredible.

The hike is there and back route from the Awa’awapuhi trail car park. It is 600m of elevation difference with downhill for the first 5 k and then uphill for the return.

The route is quite slippery if there has been rain, and there is a lot of potential exposure at the trailhead, especially if you want the best views.

Most of the hike is through cool temperate forest, only the far end of the trail is where the views are. But it is a really wonderful route, and serves as an excellent destination for visiting the state park.

Enjoy the view ⛰️📸🌴🚁
