Nā Pali Coast State Park
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Nā Pali Coast State Park encompasses 6,175 acres (25 km²) of land and stretches sixteen miles (26 kilometers) along the northwest side of Kauaʻi, the oldest inhabited Hawaiian Island. The pali, or "cliffs", rise as high as 4,000 ft (1,200 m) above the Pacific Ocean.
Although inaccessible to automobiles, this coast can be enjoyed by hiking, boating (often in kayaks) or from a helicopter. The Kalalau Trail provides the only land access, traversing eleven miles (eighteen kilometers) and crossing five valleys before reaching Kalalau Beach at the base of the Kalalau Valley.
