OVERVIEW |
|
| |
|
|
| |
At 6,380 feet (1,945m), Paliku is on the
east end of the wilderness valley at the
base of a rain forest cliff. The campsite
and cabin is reached via a strenuous 9.3
mile (15km) hike on the Sliding Sands Trail
or 10.4 (17km) on Halemauu Trail. Clouds and
fog often roll over the top of the cliffs
behind Paliku, and rain is common. The extra
moisture makes this spot exceptionally cool
and lush. |
