Na Pali Hike

May 14, 2012 by Kristy 12 Comments

Greetings from Kauai!

This will be short and sweet as I have some Miller Lite drinking to do poolside!

Today Matt and I hiked some of the Na’Pali Coast.  I say some since it’s a 11-mile hike one way along some pretty narrow cliffs with great, big drops.  I’m terrified (repeat, terrified) of heights and did my research ahead of time – these cliffs were no joke.  Our plan was to go out maybe 3 miles (so we wouldn’t reach the cliffs; they come in around mile 6) and turnaround and get in a decent 6-mile hike.

That’s exactly what we did and it was spectacular, gorgeous, and amazing.

The hike was tough coming back since we had to go mostly uphill.  My feet hurt from all the uneven footing, although I must brag I didn’t fall once.  I’m a total klutz when running and have scars to prove it.  It was so worth it.  The camera can’t even begin to capture how beautiful the views were.
