Where to run in Hanalei (Hawaii)
A breath-taking trail to hike or run is the Kalalau Trail, starting on the north shore of the island, where the main highway ends at the gorgeous Ke'e beach, past the towns of Princeville and Hanalei. The first two miles of the trail are moderately strenuous and open to the public. This portion of the trail leads to the Hanakapiai stream and beach. The trail beyond Hanakapiai is open only to those with camping permits for Kalalau valley. The trail continues for approximately four miles to the Hanakoa valley, which has no beach access. After Hanakoa, the trail turns more toward the dry side of the island. About five miles later is Kalalau valley, a large, flat-bottomed valley almost a mile across. The trail is extremely panoramic but very strenuous and runs approximately 11 miles along the island's north Na Pali coast. It was built in the late 1800s to connect Hawaiians living in the remote valleys.
