Hiking in Hawaii

Today we went to the north end of Hawaii past Kohala to the end of the road. This point is called Pololu Valley. It was just the four of us. Rob, Rick, Sandy and I. Bruce was on tour duty with the folks. Even though it was drizzling we decided to make the 3 mile hike to the bottom of the valley to the black sand beach below.


The trail was very rocky and muddy.


We took refuge under the scrubs and trees as the squalls of rain came through. We made it to the bottom and we were amazed at the size of the waves.

You could see the squalls coming across the water.
After getting drenched with rain it was time to make our way back up the trail. We discovered that our trail was now a small creek full of water. It was a great hike and definitely worth getting wet.

1) The Big Island is so breathtaking at every turn...we haven't had the privilege of visiting there, yet, but hope to once the kids are a little older and will remember it. My brothers-in-law built their retirement home there in 2004 in the Puna Palisades just of Kehena Bay, which is about 45 minutes Southeast of Hilo near the Eastern point of the island. It will be nice to stay at their home when we go.

Looking forward to more stories and photos - enjoy your trip!!

5) I love the top picture. That would be a nice vista outside a window or sitting on a lanai.
