		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been meaning to post this image from the headwall of the Wailua gorge, also known as the Blue Hole. This photo is not a montage or faked in any way, just taken with a 15mm fisheye lens. As you can see, it&#8217;s not usually blue, and only if you carry a fisheye lens does [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Deep into the interior of Kaua&#8217;i, there are many streams to explore. This is but one of them, though nowhere as deep or as spectacular as the Wailua gorge&#8212;although I&#8217;ve heard rumors, so maybe I just didn&#8217;t go far enough&#8230; I will not be giving any directions on how to get there, just some photos [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As I said, I&#8217;ll be relying on contributions a bit more now, and this is a good one with some images of Kaua&#8217;i you don&#8217;t see everyday. A while ago, a reader contacted me about doing some exploration along the Kalalau trail. Specifically, he wanted to see the terminal waterfall of the Waiahuakua stream, but [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[While I strive to be a source of information about the Kalalau trail, I wasn&#8217;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&#8217;t like it because it&#8217;s inaccurate and not lyrical. Nor is it the Waialeale Crater, as another purist points out, because it was [...]]]></description>

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, [...]]]></description>

I walked the trail a week ago and some maintenance has made it even better. The most evident work that [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The other post about the trail&#8217;s history got too long, so I&#8217;ll put the maps and photos in this new post. I first walked the trail in September 2005, when it&#8217;s future was uncertain. I mapped the trail with my GPS to record its exact location. I didn&#8217;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&#8217;s called Kaholalele Falls, and it&#8217;s practically in our backyard on [...]]]></description>
