If I could paint the fall color, this is what it migt look like. For now, this will have to do.

'I wander these winds, boundless and clear,

and the headlong rush of autumn streams.

Rivers and mountains open forth,

with dazzling sun and clouds before me.

Twilight's clarity infuses everything.

Nature fills me with rapturous joy.'

~ Hsieh Ling-yun, Hsin-an, Tung-lu Mountain

Highway 560, North Shore, Kauai

Located literally at the end of the road, Ke'e Beach is probably the most visited beach on Kauai. The famed Kalalau Trail begins at the western end of the beach. Several movies and min-series have been filmed here such as The Thorn Birds and Castaway Cowboys. Ke'e's inviting lagoon is teaming with fish and perfect for snokeling. Beware, however of the Puka Ulua, an opening on he left side from the lagoon to the sea. Currents can be very strong here. People often fish for the large, prized Ulua fish in this area. A short walk towards Ha'ena provides a panoramic view of the Na Pali Coast. Keep walking toward the Limahuli Stream. This is where Taylor Camp was located - the largest, most noted hippie colony on Kauai. Founded by the brother of actress Elizabeth Taylor, this colony had up to 100 residents before the state condemned the land and evicted them. In the opposite direction, walk down the path above the reef channel along a low rock wall. Look uphill to the site of Ka Ulu a Paoa Heiau. This ancient religious site was dedicated to Paoa, a friend of the legnedary Lohiau, lover of Pele, the volcano goddess. A shrine to Laka, goddess of the hula, is also located in a hillside cleft behind the heiau platform.

I just got back from the Road Scholar/Elder Hostel trip today. (Well, actually I'm still in LA visiting my daughter) I was the assistant guide with a friend of mine from Denali. We traveled 1,245 miles in 7 days, and saw Sequoia, Kings Canyon, Yosemite, and Death Valley National Parks. Needless to say, I took hundreds of pictures. We all had a wonderful time, with perfect weather and breathtaking landscapes.

Pyramid Creek is very tranquil and soothing during the fall, unlike the roaring torrent seen during the spring snow melt. (see photo below) - Desolation Wilderness, California
