What can I say about Kalalau beach? Well, for starters, it is not easy to get to. An 11 mile hike from sea level to sea level doesn't sound too bad. That is until you find out there are 5,000 vertical feet to climb and descend before reaching the beach. I was carrying about 55 pounds in my pack and didn't train nearly enough for this hike. I made it (with a bit of complaining, thank goodness Keith was behind me and didn't hear half of it...) and was rewarded with two nights on the beach. It was simply beautiful. I would love to do it again, but I would train a lot more next time. --Rebecca |
