Friday - Waterfall Hike

After swimming, we packed a lunch and drove over to the trailhead for Ho'opi'i Falls. The trail started pretty easy, as a dirt road suitable for an ATV or maybe a tall 4WD truck. We found the river started down the trail to the first falls. The last 50 feet of the trail led down the hill to the river, so it was a bit tricky. The family started heading back while I setup my tripod to take some of these pictures. They climbed up the hill, I chose to follow the river back upstream to where the trail met it at the same level instead. On the way out, mom learned why they warn you not to wear light colors, as she slipped and slid down the hill in her white pants. The clay stained them through to her drawers, as she discovered later.
