Kauai has been on my bucket list for years, and hiking the Nā Pali coast was one of these dream scenarios that I never thought would ultimately turn into a reality. Sure enough, the stars aligned and myself, along with some of my oldest and closest friends managed to secure hiking permits to hike the famous Kalalau Trail. The journey itself was challenging on multiple fronts, both mentally and physically, but the pictures we captures and the memories we made turned this trip into a timeless story that I am sure we will all recount for the rest of our lives.
