That’s right, we went to Mt. Wailaleale, the wettest place on earth. The mountain receives an average of 426 inches of rain each year and we knew that if we didn’t get to the top early in the day, we’d be fogged in. So, we made a beeline to the top of the mountain. The trip up went smoothly and we arrived around 10:30 or so and went straight to the lookout where we could see. . .nothing. We were fogged in already on the makai side (ocean side) and the only view was gray. From past experience, we knew that the view wasn’t going to get better, so we took a few pictures (north, south and east) and headed back to the visitor center.
We had lunch, met a few chicks, who really seemed to like their lunch “on ice,” then headed back down. We made a couple of other stops along the way, got a few photos, then made stops in Hanapepe (“The Biggest Little Town on Kauai”) and at the Kauai Coffee Plantation. You’ll find the photos below, just click on any of them to see a bigger version.
