I'm heading there in a week. Anyone know of any hikes or places that arn't really talked about in tourist guides. Also, what are your favorite places. I'm from montana, so I know what it's like to have tourists overrun your favorite places, so I won't be butthurt if you don't feel like telling me. However, I do treat nature with utmost respect. Thanks!!!

all the state park beaches on kaui r cheap when i was there, like less than 10$ a night to camp, even cheaper if u have a local id there is a bus system which runs in some sections, mostly u can hitchhike without any problems we hiked that trail that runs along the coast to kaulalai (spelling) over 10 miles long, very tough trail if your carrying alot of gear like i was, damn girlfriend,there r mangos along the trail, just make sure there r no worms in them,u r supposed to have a permit to do the trail but we didnt get 1 and had no problems,watch out for the little wild pigs, boars, and goats, there is a boat which will pick your tired ass up at the end of the trail,it costs like 20 bucks, some people stay for quite a while at the beach at the end of the trail until the rangers come in and hassle everyone there is also a cool canyon area in the interior of the island where u can rent cabins or camp, they call it a mini grand canyon or something, it is an impressive area, watch out for huge bee nests, they can get aggro hanalie is a cool area, very tropical with lots of people camping illegaly in the bush, some decent spots to eat and good surf, look to see if there r any new hostels around, they r good spots to get the local lowdown on cheap cool things to do, i was on kaui for around 6 weeks

My friends just got back from Kauai and they said it's fucking amazing there. I've been living on Big Island for 3 months now.. couldn't imagine living on any of the other islands really (something about the active volcanoes that draws me to it) but I've heard Kauai is arguably the most beautiful commercially accessible island.
I highly suggest you make a trip to Big Island and visit some of its treasures as well. Breathe in deeply the best air on earth.

Ahhh yeah. I can't wait. It's fucking cold here right now, and there's not much snow, although the skiing is so so.
Thanks for the info. Yeah, I plan on hitting up the na pali coast, the alakai swamp, snorkeling on the southeast end (northeast is all wavy), photographing mushrooms (hopefully panaeolus cyanescens), and just plain hiking and chilling.
