Kanani
July 31 * Arrived on Hanalei last night 20:30
via Naui Airlines, Paul Woodward,
Carmen Kepner. I left the Hale
Nalani Motel about 7 A.M. and drove
west + then north on 50 to Hanapepe,
Wainee and Kekaha, past acres
of sugar cane, and then slip continued
up to the Kokee region along the
west side of Waimea Canyon. After
hiking in Kalalau Lookout (4000'),
which offers a spectacular view
of the Kalalau Valley in the coastal
Na Pali Cliffs, as it momentarily
emerges from the fog-like clouds
and then melts away again,
we drove as far as possible on
the Moliki Road and then began
hiking over the ridges. No rain
after noon.
