"There is nothing I love more than the great outdoors. Well, maybe waffles. But definitely the great outdoors." - Leslie Knope
Speaking of waffles, sorry, the outdoors, June is a great time to get outside and celebrate, learn, and appreciate the world around us. From communing with nature, celebrating community, and learning about oceans and marine life, this month offers endless opportunities to discover all that national parks have to offer!
What parks will you visit this month?

Planks line the trail to minimize the hikers’ impact on the environment.
Apapane spotted on the Alakai Swamp Trail.
Kilohana Lookout, at the end of the trail.
Alaka'i Swamp Trail, a roughly 7-mile hike, roundtrip and depending on where you start. About three and a half miles of this trail, which includes the Pihea Summit Trail that starts at the Pu'u o Kila Lookout where you can park a rental car, meanders along a boardwalk, a portion of which cuts through a boggy plateau above the Na Pali Coast.
The bog is located on elevated flatlands near Mount Wai'ale'ale. The vegetation, including ohia and olapa trees, are stunted, some not even rising past the shoulders.
This bog is a strange and mysterious place, one that has been revered by Hawaiians for centuries. In fact, the swamp is mentioned in a chant that honors Wai'ale'ale: “[Kaua'i's] strength radiates in awful splendor from the Alakai.”

Random tangent but like people who get real mad when people online share the location of some hike or swimming spot or whatever are literally so stupid. Like you cant gatekeep nature? If youre gonna gatekeep nature um wouldnt you be a problem as well on account that ur on likely stolen land anyways…? granola girlies talking about like “keep it local 💖” is just so….. eesh
