When facing severe weather and treacherous conditions, sometimes it’s necessary to rethink the plan and consider the most important end goal. That’s what this week’s storytellers did when exploring the Napali Coast hiking trails and High Sierra trail / route.

This week's featured adventure stories

Tony Lima's Adventure Story : Hiking Kalalau Trail, Napali Coast (CLOSED as of May 2018)

Things to do in Kauai, Hawaii: Napali Coast

• Explore Napali Coast Hiking Trails and other trails in Kauai, the most famed is the the 22 mile Kalalau Trail.
•  Update: Unfortunately, the Kalalau Trail was closed in May of 2018 due to road and bridge washouts.  

If it is raining on the Nepali coast, wait to do mile 7 [on the Kalalau Trail] until it dries out. Watch a video of a flash flood in Hawaii before you cross any streams during a rainstorm. The flash floods can be like a scene straight out of a movie where the water rises multiple feet in a matter of seconds. If I were to go again I would bring or rent a bicycle and do a bike packing trip around the islands. ~Tony Lima, backpacker on Kalalau Trail a Napali Coast Hiking Trail
