Koloa Gulch, Hauula



The last time we were here, we only got to see the left stream fork of Koloa Gulch, which lead Kalo Falls… Therefore, it was only fitting that we (Josh, Katie and I) further explore the gulch and see the waterfall at the end of the right fork (not sure of actual name). Since there […]
