Welcome to paradise! No joke, Koke’e State Park on the island of Kauai is the textbook definition of the word. Well almost anywhere on the island may fit that description, but not everywhere can you get views of the Napali Cliffs and Kalalau Valley from 4,000-feet elevation. Now that’s a view you don’t see everyday! Hit the trails to hike through native rainforest and along the rim of Waimea Canyon to arrive at some mind blowing, high elevation views. Bring the fishing pole to score some very clean trout in the rushing creeks, pick plums in the trees above, and even hunt for wild pigs in certain areas. Pitch your tent to stay awhile, and pretend you are a primitive human living off of the land in the garden of eden. You might just want to throw in the towel at your old life and live here forever more.
