Pics from the Hike

This is image is taken from the beach, and its zoomed in pretty good. We were standing at the extreme opposite end of the beach when I took this picture, and the beach is about a 1/2 mile long. If you look closely you can see the zig-zag line on the hillside. That's what's called the Z trail, and we hiked to the top. It was a SUPER steep trail. You definitely need to be in shape to attempt hiking it.

An awesome view of the valley from one of the switchbacks on the Z trail.

A rest stop.

Carl did the hike bare-footed. He would do everything with no shoes if he could. He loves being in Hawaii because he's been to restaurants, the grocery store, and pretty much all over town with no shoes on, and no one has given him any problems. Actually, we always see other people with no shoes and sometimes not even a shirt. He's in paradise.
