Kelly and Scott viewing the Kohala Coast from the Kohala Mountain Road. |
Dry and barren on the first part of the drive. |
Cactus |
The trees along here are survivors!! |
Love this sign!!! |
Cacti, cattle and the ocean. |
Just getting into the ranching area on the mountain road. |
Green again. |
Kelly at his best....pig squealing...a man of many talents. |
A place after Scott and Fay's hearts.... |
Ironwood trees line the mountain road. |
Ring neck pheasant...in Hawaii!!! |
Grass growing on the top of the fence post. |
These trees are REALLY wind blown. From Hawi we headed to Kapa'au and then to the end of the road. |
Another day, another hike....this one is about 1.25 miles down. |
Looking back into the valley. |
This trail is steep, too. Wouldn't be fun on a rainy day!! |
Scott liked the "cliff" sign...Kelly decided to act it out. |
The coast line here is captivating and inaccessible. |
At the bottom are fun and games for the monkeys in the group. |
Huge swing for the more sedate!! |
Looking up the valley. |
The kid in me comes out with black sand and a stick. |
My hubs is a bigger kid than I, with black sand and a LOG!!! |
He was VERY proud of himself.... |
...Way to steal my thunder. |
No wonder our kids are competitive!! |
Love this picture...it shows how steep the trail is. The sign part way up is the "cliff" sign in the previous picture. |
I had to take pictures on the way up also because the sun was gorgeous on the waves. |
Steepness. |
These hawaiian rocks fall without warning anyone.....RUDE!! |
Rainbows...they are all a little different just like sunsets!! |
Kelly and I checking out the rainbow.
Papaya tree |
Another rainbow on the way home. |
Awesome tree house in this Banyan tree. |
Scott and Fay's last sunset....at "A" Bay. |
