Last Big Expedition to Alakai Swamp - Part II

After working the first night and spending the next morning processing my failures I decided to take the short Po'omau canyon trail. The 20 minute pleasant hike through a dark shadowy forest ends when the barren red cliff face peers at you from the end of the trail. The disconnect between the wet moist forest trail and the place you end up - an outlook of the barren Po'omau canyon - is striking to the eye.
