PART II RUN ONS – Write down the numbers of the RUN ONS.
(1) The trail, perching precariously 500 feet above the roaring surf and then dipping effortlessly into dark lush valleys, snakes its way along the fluted coastline. (2) From a distance, it is hard to believe there would be any way to traverse the cliffs that dip like fingers into the frothing Pacific. (3)The first half of the trail is densely over grown, the air is dripping with the aroma of over ripe guava. (4) From Mount Waialeale, the wettest spot on earth, waterfalls and streams cascade unceasingly down along the trail. (5) Vegetation grows thickly on the near vertical slopes above and below the trail. (6)This provides hikers a false sense of security, the path at its widest measures only ten feet across. (7)The landscape on the second half of the trail, the leeward side, changes dramatically from jungle to semi-arid desert. (7)Now, the cliffs are bare rock, a three-foot wide ledge is all that protects the wary hiker from the black shoreline below. (8) Nevertheless, the white sand beach that marks the end of the trail is more than ample reward for the dangers survived.(9) The colors of this last valley, the Kalalau Valley, are a vivid red and green against a cloudless blue sky. (10)This valley framed by hibiscus bushes, however, is not the end of the trip. (11)The hiker must turn around, he must repeat the hike (11) The only trail out is the trail in. (12) Not for the faint of heart, the Kalalua Trail on Kauai’s north shore is eleven miles of beauty in, eleven miles of rugged adventure out.
