The Na
Pali Coast State Park, on the island of Kauai, is home to the Kalalau Trail.
The trail is renowned for its exceptional views of Hawaii's rugged and thrilling
sea cliffs.
Hikers in good shape can walk the entire 11-mile
trail (one-way), which runs from Kee
Beach in Haena State Park, at the end of
Highway 56, to Kalalau Beach. The rigorous trail follows high, green cliffs and
dips into lush valleys. Some hikers spend the night at campsites in the
Hanakapiai or Kalalau valleys. Permits are required for camping.
