In the distant, you can see how the trees join overhead making a tunnel of foliage. After Hurricane Iniki (Inn-ee-key) all the trees looked like sticks coming out of the ground, luckily not many trees blew over and the groves grew back strong.
On this stretch of road, the elevated road goes right through the middle of a grove about 40ft. off the ground, higher in some areas.
Some of the trees did not fair as well, and did not grow back in as full...
Beach, beach, everywhere... most of the Highway runs along the coast and is usually beautifully blue... This bridge goes over the mouth of the Wailua River, where you can take a boat tour up to "The Fern Grotto" http://www.smithskauai.com/fern_grotto.html I have taken this tour a few times in my life.
Another view along my trip where the trees are magnificent!
