Napali























Tropical weather systems brewing over the warm waters of the Pacific Ocean, gather against the towering cliffs of Napali producing almost constant rains high upon the cliff tops, eroding the unstable volcanic soils and rock, providing its weathered appearance. The most beautiful waterfalls I've ever seen are in these cliffs, some thousands of feet high. Napali can only properly be seen by helicopter. The lush green color was refereed to as broccoli tree forests by the helicopter pilot, and they do look just like broccoli. Napali is unlike almost every other place I've been, in that it has qualities of what I imagine Heaven to be like closest to God. He must have created it late, very late on the 6th day when He was at His best.  
There are helicopter tours from the east side of the island near the airport

The Cathedral, Napali Coast

Young man, Grand things have been placed just beyond your vision. You cannot be whole until you have witnessed this infinitude of art which is completely yours. Give me your word you will do this, and on this journey you will cast away all conclusion for the farce that it is, and listen with your heart. Swear you will never come back to the bondage that you left, and cross over the river. Then, by your oath you free yourself.

Wall Of Tears Kaui, Hi

In the Iao Vally, waterfalls emerge from the clouds, and the five thousand foot volcanic cliffs, graced in a sheer vertical rain forest. It is a place of cleansing and rebirth. Mega turbulence, light aircraft, and awesome beauty go well together here, where one can see how wonderfully fragile life is.
