The Menehune Ditch is a Historical Territory Landmark of Hawaii. It was a ditch of importance…read morehistorically for irrigation. Menehune (a Hawaiian version of dwarfs or Brownies) are said to have built the ditch by placing the stones that form the ditch wall. I came out this way because the Menehune Ditch sits at the base of a neat lava flow erupted a long time ago. Enjoyable location to take in the geologic sites and learn a little bit of history about the area. Follow the driving directions provided on the website to around mile marker 23 on Menehune Road. The Menehune Ditch and the Waimea Swinging Bridge are right next each other and we ventured on the bridge after exploring the lava flows and ditch. Not too far to go on the bridge, but there is a good view of the water canal. If driving, keep a look out for the bridge on the right when heading up along Menehune Road. We spotted the bridge in the distance and found some space on the side of the road a little bit before the ditch/bridge to pull off and park while we explored.

It's located just off the side of the road and is very easy to get to. The red dirt makes the waterfall very unique.

While staying in Princeville, we decided to check out Queen's Bath, and it was absolutely worth the…read moreeffort. Parking in front of the entrance is extremely limited, and the surrounding residential area doesn't allow non-permitted parking. I ended up dropping off my wife and her friend so they could start the trek while I parked at the nearby golf course, which added about a half-mile walk to the entrance. From the entrance, the hike down to Queen's Bath is about half a mile. It's not too long, but there are a few tricky spots that require some careful footing. It's definitely manageable for most people, including kids, as long as you take your time. Once you arrive, you're rewarded with a beautiful natural tide pool filled with seawater and fish. Some people were even jumping from the surrounding rocks into the water below. The spot was lively, with plenty of tourists and families making the hike down to enjoy the view and the experience. A little extra work to get there, but the payoff is huge. Queen's Bath is a must-see if you're in Princeville.

Plus I had chatted with a local and while she did note that there was a walk to get to QB, she also called it "no big deal." So we show up in flip flops, wanting to check out QB quickly before heading out for another excursion at 11:00 AM. Huge mistake. It had been raining and the "no big deal" walk was an epic disaster in flip flops. One of us fell multiple times, and Kauai mud stains are VERY difficult to remove. No one even wanted to scramble down the rocks to the Bath area after getting covered in mud on the way down. We just went back to the hotel room, where I nearly used up a whole bottle of Oxi Clean MaxForce trying to get mud stains out of our bathing suits and towels. This one just isn't for me, but if you know what you're up against going in, it's probably a lot more enjoyable. To my wry amusement, we saw some little kid dropping F bombs on his way up the path as we were headed down, so we clearly weren't the only ones who had bitten off more than we could chew that day, lol.
