Hanakoa Falls

The Kalalau Trail in Hawaii, running along the Nā Pali Coast on Kauai, is renowned for its stunning yet perilous beauty. Spanning 11 miles from Ke'e Beach to the Kalalau Valley, it's considered one of the most beautiful and dangerous trails in the US. While experienced hikers can complete the 22-mile round trip in a day, casual hikers typically take at least two days, camping along the route. Notable features include Hanakoa Falls, which can exceed 1,000 feet in height, though reaching it presents a challenge due to the trail's poor maintenance.
