A Hike on the Napali Coast

Recently three of the monks and Tirtadeva went for a hike on the Northern coast of the Island. The trail takes you along the coastal cliffs, and stretches 11 miles before reaching Kalalau Valley, a place held sacred by the Hawaiians. The group of course didn't go the full 11 miles, but was content to go two miles in and out which leads you to a wonderful beach at the two mile mark.

The first view the trail offers is to look back and see Kee beach which is right where the trailhead is.

This is a view off the cliffs towards the ocean. Thought these little trees you really get an idea of how bright and vibrant the ocean is hundreds of feet below.

You can see all the way down the coast, the trail follows the cliffs the whole way.

After reaching the beach they all had lunch before heading back.
