Hiking Na Pali Coast Trail at Night

A starry night of Kauai, known as Hawaii’s Garden Island. The 18km (11 mile) rugged Na Pali coast trail with it’s towering cliffs is known as one of the most scenic in the world. Here is a glimpse of that trail at night with the stunning Milky Way rising over this lush coastline on the north shore of Kauai. The famous Na Pali coast is visible on the right and a Pandanus tree is on the left. A branch of another Pandanus shows on the upper right. As noted by the photographer “It was my great previledge to hike this famous trail and capture the stunning Hawaiian night skies over such beautiful scenery on one of the rarer clear nights on this rainy coastline, one of the wettest spots on earth.”
