The WIDE view . . . Explore 15-02-2025 #54

            We had to hike the last mile to the Pu’u O Kila Lookout in Koke’e State Park as the road was in such bad shape it was closed to vehicle traffic.  This is the panoramic view taken from the start of the Pihea Trail. The trail follows the rim of the Kalalau Valley along the Ka’a’alahina Ridge, seen on the left. 

The ridge, is over 2 miles long, starting at an elevation of just under 3000 feet and drops down to sea level at the Na’pali coastline.  If you continue down the Pihea Trail it will connect to the Alakai Swamp Trail, the highest elevation swamp in the world at around 4000 feet.

The hiker adds a needed sense of scale to the scene which is over 3 miles in wide.  We had been up the day before and we were standing in a cloud and couldn’t see anything.  It was worth the return trip.

This image is a stitch of 3 images to capture the width of the scene.
