Jonathan and I, First Beginning Iao Valley Tableland "Secret Trail" Hike.
I only brought 1 pair of shoes. and the further we got on the trail, the more muddy it got. eventually it was too hard to avoid.
Made it to the top of IAO Valley

We put our shirts back on for the photo. It might look stormy, but it was 86 degrees, with a nice cool ocean wind.
1.25 mile hike with 905ft of elevation clime to get to this amazing view that lets you see to the other side of the island.
it is amazing how the landscape and fauna change along the hike.

Did you know this is what a Coffee Plant looks like, and that it produces so many cherries? Well... now you do.
