Hike #9 - Kukui Trail, Waimea Canyon, Kauai, HI

Waimea Canyon is like the Grand Canyon with breathtaking overlooks and challenging hiking trails.  We hiked the Kukui Trail, which takes you 2.5 miles and 2,000' down to the Waimea River.  This is a somewhat difficult trail due to how steep it is particularly on the way back.  We could see large waterfalls in the distance as we neared the top.  Some parts were muddy due to the rain the day before so slippery.  We only saw a couple of other people on this hike.
