Maha'ulepu Heritage Trail // Poipu in Kauai, Hawaii

If you're following along with the Scripture Memory / Dwell Richly printable, here's the verse for week 29: 

God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble. Psalm 46:1 (NIV)


If you're looking for a lengthy yet leisurely trail with lots of breathtaking views, the Maha'ulepu Trail will be perfect for you. As always, bring lots of water. It's an adventure filled with incredible lithified sand dunes. 

This trail was super close to our hotel in Po'ipu. You basically walk the coastline (and walk on the edge of a golf course at one point) then hit a semi-secluded beach at the end of the trail. We were running out of water (and daylight) so we didn't spend much time on the beach this day. However, we did drive back a few days later (incredibly bumpy dirty role with lots of pot holes - motion sickness almost got the best of me) and spent the afternoon bathing in the sun with only a couple of other people around. Bliss, my friends. Sheer bliss.

You can also find an ancient open-roofed sandstone sinkhole called Makauwahi Cave but it was closed by the time we got there.
