Capturing this image was NOT EASY! We hiked about half the Hanakapiai trail. 4 miles in 4 miles out and a whole lot of uphill and downhill. So steep that I thought I was going to fall a few times. Carrying the camera and tripod did not make it any easier.
Before I go out to take pictures, especially sunrise, I like to google places to go. Lydgate Beach Park came up multiple times as one of the best places to watch the sunrise in Kauai. Although the sunrise itself wasn’t spectacular, I had a great time exploring the area.
Driving along Maui’s Hana Coast is amazing! It’s this long winding road that has these amazing views of the ocean and beautiful cliffs along the way. Towards the end, after the town of Hana, we stopped to walk along a 4 mile trail through a bamboo forrest. To be honest, the hike wasn’t bad. I think what made it better was the wild fruit along the trail that we’d pick and try.
At the end of this trail is this beautiful 200ft waterfall. So cool!!
