		<description><![CDATA[While I strive to be a source of information about the Kalalau trail, I wasn't able to hike it this year and see the repairs that were reportedly done in the dangerous-looking sections. Another resident, Arius Hopman, hikes the trail more regularly and has finally taken photos, and Juan posted them on Island Breath. Arius [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I wish we knew what the Hawaiians called this place at the foot of Mount Waialeale and Kawaikini, now called the Blue Hole. That name was invented recently by haoles, but I don't like it because it's inaccurate and not lyrical. Nor is it the Waialeale Crater, as another purist points out, because it was [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I'm running out of titles for Kalalau-related content. I could update the Kalalau Trip Reports with the following links, but these are more newsy than pure hiking stories.


	First, two old articles about volunteer repairs to the trail last summer and fall. These repairs took place after my previous hike and photos of trail conditions, and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[After yesterday's blog update, today I have news that the Kuilau trail has been "updated." In my first post about the trail, I focused on the nice views near the picnic shelter at the end. I walked the trail a week ago and some maintenance has made it even better.

The most evident work that has [...]]]></description>

I first walked the trail in September 2005, when it's future was uncertain. I mapped the trail with my GPS to record its exact location.  I didn't blog about the path at the time [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Hawaiians historically had footpaths for getting about on land. On Maui and the Big Island, some of those paths that traverse ancient lava flows have been preserved, but on Kauai, vegetation and erosion have erased all the paths that fell out of use. So, several years ago, I was excited to hear that one of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A neighbor and fellow explorer of mine told me about a practically unknown waterfall that he visited recently. It turns out that I had spotted it on Google Earth already, and he confirmed that it was nearly as tall and impressive as Wailua Falls.

It's called Kaholalele Falls, and it's practically in our backyard on the [...]]]></description>

My wife and I will be visiting the island for a little over two weeks from
the end of December-January, and except for a couple of days at the
beginning and the end of our trip, we'd love to spend the rest away from the
crowds, in our tent, soaking in as much nature [...]]]></description>

We were also hoping to hike to the bottom of Opaeka'a Falls via the short, standard trail/route that starts just upstream of the falls. However, I recently found out that the state closed this trail because two women fell to their deaths from the top late last year.  Are folks still [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There has been some discussion in the press and on this blog recently about the condition of the Kalalau trail. An article in the Garden Island newspaper paints a scary picture, one letter to the editor concurred and another admitted to cancelling a hike due to that information.
