Hanakapiai falls is a listed as being a 1,000 ft high fall. It is quite impressive and beautiful. The bottom of the fall is a large pool where you can swim. Typically in the summer this pool would have a number of people swimming and playing about. Now, at dusk, the area is empty.


When it was completely dark and I was searching the vegetation I was startled to hear a loud sharp CRACK. Not quite as sharp a sound as a gunshot but as loud. It took me a minute to realize the sound was that of a large rock that had fallen down the cliff and struck the shore below.
