Pipiwai Trail - Waterfall Alert!

From the very first time George and I took this trail I have dreamed of taking the kids here.  Wakahiku Falls is about 2/3s of a mile in and only a measly 200 feet drop!
This four mile round trip trail has a gentle elevation gain so it is easy.  The magical part is hiking through the bamboo forest.  It truly is like walking through a wind chime when a gentle breeze blows.
 Definitely a memory making hike!
At the end the reward is Waimoku Falls which slices 400 feet down the back of a sheer wall of lava.  Now that is a waterfall!
This is one of my favorite pictures from the trip.  Our Johnny was sick.  He had gone on a night time scuba dive the evening before and was suffering the aftereffects of hypothermia so he stayed home.  Matt's friend Johnny R. was our substitute Johnny for the day.  I love all their expressions.
 A wonderful day!
