You just continue up the road above Rainbow Falls. If you keep going far enough, and make the correct turns, you wind up on the Saddle Road.

Ok, then unless there is more than one way to get on the Saddle Road, I've driven by it. I've been on the Saddle Road from the Hilo side. I'll have to pay closer attention this time.

From Rainbow Falls, just continue up hill, staying close to the river. That will take you to the Boiling Pots section of Wailuku River Park. From there you can continue uphill.. Eventually you will connect with Saddle Road, just before it leaves the Hilo area.

DRI: The Point at Poipu, 3 deeded weeks, 1 of which is in The Club.
Doesn't look as if anyone has taken a stab at this, so as a hint - this is Kauai and not north shore.

Here's a close up:

Oh, of course, it's the William Hyde Rice Monument that stands across the road from the Outfitters Kauai Kipu Ranch office. Actually, it took some Photoshop enhancement of the text and some Googling to find it. Good one!

Yep.

I came across it one when I decided to take Kipu Road as far as it went, just to see what was at the end. DW was skeptical, and let that be known, but I forged ahead anyway (one of those rare instances where it proved to be a good idea to not heed DW).

*************

My brother, who is a skilled professional photographer (skilled enough to actually make a living doing photography), and I were chatting one time about our father. He mentioned something our Dad said that I had forgotten, viz., that there is usually something interesting at the end of a road. Which encompasses the idea that roads are built of a purpose, and the end of road is the reason why the road was buildl So, if you get to the end of the road, you will usually find something interesting that is the reason why the road was built. And of there isn't an apparent reason, then there will surely be a backstory.

For several years we've been breaking up the trip with a night somewhere on the west coast. The stop over city depends on the best airfare, but when we stop in San Diego, we like spending the night at the Sheraton San Diego Hotel & Marina. It's on Harbor Island, has a free shuttle, is very close to the airport and a great view of marina and bay. One year we decided to splurge and spend the night at the amazing Hotel del Coronado, but Delta changed the flight time and we wouldn't have arrived until after dark. :( We canceled the reservation and went to the Sheraton instead.

Not to take this thread off topic, but the Del is best experienced over several days, where you can relax and fully enjoy the experience of staying there. There is too much history and ambience there to try and experience it all in just one night's sleepover. :)

Ok, DaveNW, what is the Del ? We could spend several days in California on our return flight.
We have stay in San Diego before and loved that City, Mission Bay Area and the downtown areas.

The Del is the local name for the Hotel Del Coronado, the big, red-roofed hotel on Coronado Island, across the bay from downtown San Diego. It has what is often called the best beach in America, and the hotel has been there about a hundred years. The movie "Some Like It Hot" was filmed there in the 1950s. It's a place totally worth seeing, if only to walk the grounds and have a meal in their restaurant. This is their website: https://hoteldel.com

For those who want to timeshare it, the Del is literally right across the street from the Coronado Beach Resort timeshare.

Thanks, we have been to the Del Coronado , just walking around and some light shopping. We loved our days at the beach and all those shops around the hotel.
IMHO, the very best seafood restaurants are in San Diego. San Diego is laid back.

The Coronado Beach Resort used to have an arrangement with the Hotel Del to use their facilities. That ended some years ago.

Barking Sands Beach? Looks like the island of Niʻihau in the background.
Close enough, It's Polihale, but I don't know where Barking Sands ends and Polihale begins. I was sure someone would recognize Niihau, And I figured that some folks might think west Maui.
