John and I have wanted to see another one of the Hawaiian islands for a long time and when his Mom & Dad gifted him money for a trip as congradulations for earning high honors with his bachelors degree thats where he decided he wanted to go!  We planed the trip for months and knew when we read about the dificulty and beauty of the Na Pali Coast hike that we wanted to do it while there!  It did not disappoint!  It was the most extreme hike I have ever done!

It was 22 miles round trip and took us a total of 16.5 hours and we were both carrying 30 lbs packs.  Some points of the path were only 1 ft wide with cliffs on the side.  Once we arrived at the end we hammock camped on the beach for the first time, stayed the night, skinny dipped in the morning and then hiked back.  Had we known how amazing the experience and beach were going to be we would not have planned anything else.  Truly amazing, once in a life time experience!
