If you ever go to Kalalau lookout get up there by 8:30 in the morning. You will pretty much have the place to yourself. Just make sure you dress warmly. The cloud cover can be dodgy. I had been there three times previously and it was usually on the cloudy side and once almost totally socked in. But this time it was bright and blue. Again the sun angles weren’t doing us any favors with the pictures, but it was really wonderful to be up there.

This hibiscus was actually down on the coast near the Russian fort, but it was such a cool picture I couldn’t help including it. |
