DONE BY ONE OF THE BEST ARTISTS WORKING IN HAWAII. DATED 1984 AND SIGNED BY THE ARTIST.On the beautiful island of Kauai, in the state of Hawaii, there is an unforgettable trail—the wild, raw, and unforgettable Kalalau Trail—eleven miles of switchbacks, cliffs, and beautiful tropical scenery. The trail begins where the road ends—Highway 560 takes you to the trailhead which is as far as you can drive. Here you will also find the spectacular Ke'e Beach—the perfect place to rest either before or after your hike. Once you arrive at Ke'e Beach, you will find the Kalalau Trail on the inland side of the road, near a large kiosk. From here, the Kalalau Trail hugs the Na Pali Coast—a massive windswept coastline overlooking primeval emerald green valleys with towering cliffs that plunge nearly 4,000 feet to the sapphire pacific below. Many people hike the 11 miles to Kalalau Beach, camp, and then hike back the next day for a total of 22 miles roundtrip. As an alternative to this strenuous route, you can opt to hike to just the first beach along the trail—Hanakapi'ai Beach, which is a mere two miles from the start. Hanakapi'ai Beach lies snuggled at the mouth of Hanakapi'ai Valley, the first valley leading to the island's interior, and if you are pressed for time, this is an excellent way to enjoy the Na Pali Coastline. Once you get to the Hanakapi'ai Valley, you may decide to take a short break, then head up to Hanakapi'ai Falls. This is a 2 miles, unmaintained trail in which some parts of the trail may be hard to follow. Some choose to just follow the stream all the way to the falls. After crossing the stream about a mile up the valley, the trail becomes more difficult as it meanders over rocks and fallen trees. The upper half of this trail should be hiked only in good weather to avoid dangerous flash floods and falling rocks. It is a nice waterfall to jump into and worth your time to hike to it.Betty Freeland is very skilled at working with a palette knive and this painting reflects that. Her choice of colors is impeccable,there is nothng garish nor unreal about them. The valley you are looking at, that makes a right hand turn, leads to Hanakapi'ai Falls. If you're old enough to remember the hit TV show Fantasy Island, this is the waterfall featured in it.NAME: THE HANAKAI'AI TRAIL (Kauai.)ARTIST: Betty Freeland, listed Hawaiian Artist.
