Alakai Swamp Hike


View of Kalalau Valley in the beginning of the hike with Jan and Julie.
Some plants here you will see no where else.



Haupu"u or Hawaiian Tree Fern is abundant and grows taller than we.

Julie and Jan in the heart of the swamp.

This fern is striking with spores on the back side of the leaf.

Bird list from the day : Apapane, 'Elepapio, Kaua'i Amakihi, Melodious Laughing Thrush and the ever present Japanese White Eye
