Waimea Canyon Outing with Taskforcers
October 12, 2022Our current two taskforce residents, Vatshalan and just-arrived Lucas, have never been to Waimea Canyon and Kokee state park on the drier west side of Kauai. We saw mostly-clear weather on the forecast, so took the opportunity the other day. Besides the standard lookout points, we did the somewhat-strenuous Canyon Trail hike that goes up and down, along the edge of a ridge cliff and ends at a beautiful waterfall and pond area.

Red dirt dunes on the way, kind of Mars-like

On the way back we heard buzzing and found this swarm of bees who are shooting in and out of a hive in this hill
The Kalalau Valley lookout at the end of the road is spectacular...when it\
s not completely hidden by clouds! We got to practice our imagination skills.'
