This site serves two purposes: first, it's a way for family and friends to see photos and read descriptions of the various hikes we've taken on Kauai; second, it's a way for those interested in hiking Kauai to see and read about our experiences. In particular, this site refers to, and adds comment on, The Ultimate Kauai Guidebook, which – at the risk of sounding like a shill – is far and away the best guidebook published on Kauai.

Kauai is perhaps the most hike-able of the Hawaiian Islands. Not only does it have many reasonably well maintained trails serving some of the most spectacular and varied scenery on the planet, there is little problem with private land or hostile locals.

And for those who want something more than a few miles hiked or a nice view, Kauai has a number of more extreme hikes, not only in distance, but in challenge. Our goal is to hike as many of those as possible and report on them here, including providing GPS-produced maps and stats.
