Big Island of Hawai'i

Polol'u Valley Trail (400ft descent from overlook to ocean)
View from the Polol'u Valley Overlook
Beginning the short but steep descent to the valley floor and beach
This trail can be slippery after rain, and requires careful footing
A beautiful section of the Kohala Mountains
Continuing the descent along an eroded trail section
Classic view of the sea cliffs along the northern end of Hawai'i island
A small panorama of Polol'u Valley
The trail reaches the beach
Looking back to the heavily wooded valley
Hawai'i-sized beach pebbles
Only a few people were enjoying the beach
Ascending up the rocky trail
The clouds were breaking up when we got back to the overlook, providing a final brighter view
Spectacular sunset back at our condo near Kona
