Beer Reward Score 10/10 - plenty of rocks to hang on along the way, but wait for the secluded beach payoff before turning back. Sand crabs, turtles (if you’re lucky), and horse poo (if you’re less lucky) will join you. Sunburn Score 8/10 - some parts shaded, but mostly open. Went home with a sweet backpack strap tan line. Dehydration Factor 5/10 - few liters should do it. Thigh Penalty 4/10 - mostly flat, but your feet might hurt more from the rocks. Post-hike Chill Koa Kea Resort is a couple of miles away, and has an unreal view of the ocean and Coconut Porters on ice.

Beer Reward Score 10/10 - muddy downhill rope exhibition is worth it for the secluded beach straight out of a corona commercial. Just bring something better than corona. Sunburn Score 4/10 - hike is covered, but beach is open depending on time of day. Geez bring bug spray though. Dehydration Factor 1/10 - you’re good. Thigh Penalty 1/10 - fresh thighs. Post-hike Chill 10/10 - St. Regis hotel has a delightful bar with sweeping views. Tahiti Nui where The Descendants was shot is nearby too.

Beer Reward Score 10/10 - incredible views of East Kauai. Giant wakes up for local IPAs. Sunburn Score 6/10 - most of the hike is covered, but some open air at the top. Dehydration Factor 5/10 - uphill gains will make you sweat. Bring some water for the mountain pooches. Seriously, there are mountain pooches. Thigh Penalty 6/10 - uphill all the way, but it’s not too far. Post-Hike Chill Street Burger for local brews and massive burgers.
