Ka'inalimu Bay - 11.10.2019
We parked at Wai'anapanapa State Park near the town of Hana.
|
You might have to wander around the park for a bit to find this sign... but the actual trailhead sign is a short walk more to the right of this sign.
|
Yes... we are going to hike on the Ke Ala Loa O Maui/Piilani Trail.
|
Hiking past the Honokalani Cemetery.
|
Most of this trail will be along the coast line... heading SE toward Hana Bay.
|
Continuing toward Hana Bay and looking back at Pa'iloa Bay where we parked in Wai'anapanapa State Park.
|
Continuing on the Ke Ala Loa O Maui/Piilani Trail and heading toward Hana Bay.
|
Looks like an arch, but I assume that it really isn't.
|
BarbE got a photo of me checking out the arch.

Birds hanging out on the cliffs along the Ke Ala Loa O Maui/Piilani Trail.
|
Needless to say, the waves along this coast line are very large.
|
About halfway through our hike we found this dilapidated fisherman's shack.
|
Looking back as we continue beyond the fisherman's shack.
|

rocman nears Ka'inalimu Bay which will end up being our destination for the day... Hana Bay is just around the point in the distance.
|
Ka'inalimu Bay... tons of rocks on this beach.

A pano shot of our view at Ka'inalimu Bay... Nanu'alele Point is out there on the right... and Hana Bay is on the other side of the point.
|
Denali Girl and BarbE watch the waves crash into the beach at Ka'inalimu Bay.
|
Time to leave Ka'inalimu Bay and trace our steps back to join the others in our party.
|
Heading back along the Ke Ala Loa O Maui/Piilani Trail to join the others at the fisherman's shack.
|
We are almost back to the fisherman's shack.
|
Our party at ragman's beach house... left to right... Ranger Steve, rocman, Bear Belle, BarbE, Denali Girl, ragman and tomman.
|
We have left ragman's beach house and are tracing our steps back to the car.

Waves crashing into the cliffs along the Ke Ala Loa O Maui/Piilani Trail.

Almost back to our car.

Less than a stone's throw from our car... the total hike was 4.9 miles, gaining 279 feet of elevation.
