Description
This is an easy one way trail in Na Pali Coast State Wilderness Park but can easily turn treacherous if raining. The terrain may become unstable and the stream crossings can quickly become raging rivers. Be cautious of flash flooding. The only way to access the trailhead is by boat or a difficult 10 mile hike. The trail is through a lush forest with many ancient rock terraces and hosts a variety of fruit trees along the way all the while traversing the Kalalau stream. It clearly shows signs of previous populous habitation in this secluded valley. There are pools and natural waterslides along the way and the hike culminates with a magnificent waterfall.
