Extreme Hikes on Wai'ale'ale and Kawaikini

Wilderness hazards of Kauai, Wai'ale'ale and Kawaikini

Mount Waialeale is more than a mountain. It's the wilderness plateau or massif at the center of Kauai drained by seven major streams. To the north, Wainihia and Lumahai streams flow through majestic valleys. Northeast and east flow the Hanalei and Wailua rivers. To the south and west, via pristine, rugged gorges, the Olokele, Waialae and Koaie streams drain into Waimea Canyon. It's also the graveyard of endemic species and the center of controversy. Should the old Wai'ale'ale trails be forgotten and allowed to disappear?

What's new?*

Click on to see over 300 photos of extreme hikes on Kauai including photos from our recons in August 2006 and January 2007.

InMay, we explored Upper Waimea Canyon, Loli Slot Canyon and the upper reaches of Waialae Gorge. We discovered an almost unknown, overlooking, incredible wonderland ignored by the guidebooks.

An attempt todayhike Kawaikini (select Kapoki)with an excellent write-up. Bonus, more extreme Kauai dayhikes on the same page including an ascent ofHaupu!

NewCanyons and Gorges of Kauai page added with details of a scary adventure inKoaie Gorge(March 2006).

February 12, 2006 -- Four County High Pointers summit Kawaikini, the high point of Mount Wai'ale'ale! Congratulations to the Gang of Four, Don Nelsen, John Mitchler, Dave Covill and Bob Packhard.Detailed route description, photos, beta.Here's a small sample of some of their photos.

January -- We climbKawaikini, the true summit of Mount Waialeale. Full details, maps and photoshere. Also many other hikes you'll find nowhere else.

New photogallery with lots of photos of Wai'ale'ale, Kawaikini, etc. Warning. Big files!

*When we're in town, the website will be refined, changed almost daily so don't stay away. PS Feel free to link to Waialeale.org.

Off Trail on Mount Wai'ale'ale: Treks Beyond the Guidebooks.

Is there a trail to the top of Mount Waialeale? Is Wai'ale'ale or Kawaikini the summit? What's it like to camp in the Alakai Swamp, look down into Olokele Canyon and the Blue Hole (or should we call it"Waialeale Crater"), ford Koaie and Waialae streams, drink from Halehaha Stream and get lost in the headwaters of Halepaakai stream. Can Pohakupele Ridge be climbed? Is there a lake named Waialeale near the summit. What is Keaku Cave? To GPS or not? Just where is the raingage and how much does it really rain? If these questions intrigue you, click here.

Exploring the Canyons of Kauai:Olokele, Waialae, Koaie, Makaweli, Loli.

Canyons and Gorges of Kauai

Olokele, Mokuone, Kahana, Loli, Blue Hole, Waialae, Koaie, Poomau, Iliiliula -- the almost unknown, incredible varied wilderness canyons and gorges of Kauai beckon. With hundreds of waterfalls, pools sheer cliffs, treacherous floods, glimpse themhere .

Waialeale and Kawaikini Environmental issues.

The Waialeale Issues. For Pigs or People or the Birds.

What are the threats to the endangered endemic plants and birds of the Alakai Swamp and Mount Waialeale? Why have most of the unique endemic forest birds of Kauai gone extinct since the state decided that introduced hogs should be managed rather than irradicated? Does the state have the will and resources to preserve the Alakai Swamp or should it become a National Park. Are introduced hogs given more protection than endemic species? Should hogs be allowed run free, spreading avian malaria in areas closed to hunting? Should the hogs be fenced out of endangered, precious habitat? Who decides how best to protect, the fragile Alakai wilderness, subjective hunters or objective science.

Should some of most spectacular waterfalls, cliffs, canyons and gorges on the planet remain accessible only to heli-tourists who can afford to fork out 200 bucks an hour (Take only pictures - leave only noise). What kills the most people on Mount Waialeale, off trail hiking or helicopters?

Comments? Flames? Contact us!
