We hiked to the Makamakaole Stream Hike which is fondly nicknamed 13 Crossings. While we cannot confirm that there are only 13 crossings of the river on this hike we can confirm that it is a hike that is worth the hype! So gorgeous! It is a relatively easy hike but there is a lot of bouldering. It takes you through a lovely Bamboo Forest, past a lovely Banyan tree and ends at a beautiful hidden grotto with a spectacular waterfall. The pool is deep enough to swim in. If you dare! We did dare! So fun! On the way back with hiked to the other falls which is an even bigger falls and water hole for swimming. We didn't get into this one and kinda glad because on the way down we saw some giant crawdads in the river ......I guess they were probably in the other one too but we did not see them. So that was good.
My favorite hiking buddy! He is so good and helps me down all the hard parts and holds my hand.
Love rocks! Everywhere I go there are love rocks!! God Loves me and HE loves YOU TOO!
Where is Brenda? Can you see her in this picture?
Here's a big hint! There she is!
Love this ancient Hawaiian wall! So Cool!
Jeffy jumped right in!
Brenda kinda eased into the water!
We all got in together! My big regret was leaving on my hiking boots! It was nice on my toes in the moment but now my shoes stink so bad!! Hopefully a little baking soda will help!
The second waterfall had these cool caves! Perfect for posing with your hubby!
Cutest missionary companion ever!!
We wear our name tags everywhere we go and on this hike there were several LDS Families! Oh and then a big group of senior aged boys who were probably on their Senior Trip together and they were all going to be heading out on missions! One had his mission call already to California! So Fun!!
This side of the island has the best views and it is so beautiful!! Who am I kidding the Island has great views on all sides! It is a gorgeous island!
We ended the day with Fish Tacos from Coconuts! Always a hit!
