Wailele Falls Laie

The weather was to absolutely "DIE FOR " kinna weather ... it was sunny & breezy and I was so happy I decided to hike in a bikini top with shorts. Because anything more than that and this hike wouldve been very unpleasent.

So we set off at about 9 am after Kanani arrived. We drove out to Gentry to pick up Odanaus and headed out towards the North Shore. We ended up at the trailhead at about 12 noon. Only because we stopped to get something to eat and everybody wanted Gatorade for the hike.

This was my first time on this trail as there are 2 other waterfalls in this area and so I packed extra ribbons just in case , but later learn that this trail was rather clear and aside from all the river crossings we made it up in less than 2 hours.

The guys were up front leading the way , while us ladies dropped back for some picture taking and just exploring the beautiful flowers and fruits we came across along the way.

At the start point there is and old house which probabley belongs to the caretaker of a nursery we past that had alot of fruits and vegi's yumm . So we were sure not to make any noise to avoid getting kicked out.

The falls is absolutely beautiful and clean to swim. Theres also alot of flat rocks to tan on in the open sun. The sound of the wind is very smooth here as it blows thru the valley.

While everyone was swimming I decided to venture futher and came across many abandonned firepits and hunting shells. Also the waterfall goes up another 1/4 mile or so and it kinna looks like something out of Narnia up here.

We spent the day up here and as we notice the sun slowly setting made our way back down.

We ended up meeting with Uncle them in Punaluu where we cruised til about 8 pm watching them fish.

It was a lovely day and Im so glad this time I brought my sounds with me , Im so famous for going on hikes and leaving my Ipod dockcase home. It was absolutey a beautiful hike ... with mellow sounds :) ... Irie

Directions: Up behind PCC , you will need to google as this is one of 3 Waterfall hikes in this exact location. There is another trailmarker on the property located next to this trailhead with an iron gate that rolls back. However it is ownned by the Texiera Family and its is 120 acres of Private Land which you *CANNOT* enter. Attempting to do so , you will be greated by a welcoming party which will have you arrested. So if you end up walking into what seems like a horse ranched area nestled to the right of the trailhead . Stay Out! I would know this because Ive visited this place frequantly from childhood. Take My Word For It ... Happy Hiking ...
