		<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>

Tantalizingly, you can see more falls upstream. You follow the stream further, feeling grateful it's not too steep.

Further yet, and you've found a little slice of paradise:

		<description><![CDATA[Every now and then, I like to visit the tourist spots on Kauai, the places locals almost never go anymore. So back in January when I had an hour in Lihue between appointments, I drove to the famous Wailua Falls overlook. The falls were as pretty as ever, with plenty of runoff from the winter [...]]]></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>

Most people have heard there's a second tunnel, but its wherabouts are not very clear. The Ultimate Guide barely mentions it, and some think that the curvy parts of the first tunnel count as the second. Others correctly conclude it lies on the other side of the Hanalei river, but [...]]]></description>

Earlier this summer, Kris wrote to ask:

On January 10 you blogged about Kalalau and mentioned in passing to 
'remind me to blog about the "tunnels" hike someday'.  I hope that day 
is soon - I'd love to hear your thoughts about that hike.

Ahhh, the "Secret Tunnel to the North Shore," sooner or later, everyone [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[First a couple of announcements:


	We've had a week of off-and-on heavy rain showers, and the newspaper reported today that the State Parks have stopped issuing the remaining permits for Hanakapiai and Kalalau campgrounds. The trail itself is not officially closed, though it is sure to be muddy, so existing permit holders may come and go. [...]]]></description>

One of the hike leaders works at the National Tropical Botanical Gardens (NTBG) on the south shore and can give private tours. So we got to walk around both the Allerton and the McBryde gardens after hours and see parts of the property [...]]]></description>

However you look at it, the effects are impressive. Wailapa Road just east of the [...]]]></description>
