I tried hiking to Hawaii's Alakai Swamp on Kauai and didn't make it to the end, but I did survive.
I am a long way from California. The path to Kauai’s famous Alakai Swamp in Kokee State Park has gone from lumpy mud to steep climbs over tree roots to janky, overgrown boardwalks in a stretch of less than 4 miles. What I hoped would take an hour has extended into nearly three, and the electric-green ferns and twisting trees are starting to cast long shadows over the damp ground.
Torrents of the Kalalau Stream carved the long, broad Kalalau Valley stretched out before me. I stepped carefully along the hardened mud of the trail, which was flanked with ohia trees and uluhe ferns, stopping occasionally to snap a photo or determine the best way around a puddle or down a steep, rocky slope. It was hard to keep my eyes on the trail, given the expansive azure ocean beyond the island and the thin layer of puffy clouds tracing the horizon.
