Descending from Pihea Trailhead we stop at overlooks throughout Waimea State Park and outside it to enjoy the great views, flora and fauna

One of the highlights of Kauai is the Pihea trail we explore today while trying to avoid rain and mud and failing miserably

We end a day with a beach and bath visit to Salt Pond Beach and then a dinner at a nearby complex

We spend a couple hours in Hanapepe, the art capital of Kauai, buying souvenirs, exploring the downtown area and crossing hanging bridges

We make a short stop at the Glass Beach to look for polished glass and colorful fish

We could not resist a stop at Kauai Coffee to explore the plantation and buy some coffee for home

The next stop is Russian Fort Elizabeth established to provide a foothold for Russia in Hawaii at least for a short while

In the morning we explore Waimea town near our resort buying a few souvenirs and exploring the historic Waimea Pier

We end the day at Polihale State Park exploring the beaches and the cliffs at the end of the road and a nice dinner afterwards

The first stop after we exit the resort is at Kawai’ele Waterbird Sanctuary to explore the trails and find some native birds
