I had wanted to go see the Queen’s Bath<\/a> since I heard about it last year. \u00c2\u00a0It is ill marked and bad trail. \u00c2\u00a0Maybe they do that to keep those that go see it the ones that really want to.<\/p>\n

\"Day1334101\"<\/a><\/p>\n

(Nikon P7100)<\/p>\n

It is a pretty trail, by and large, but I didn’t get any photos of the steep parts. \u00c2\u00a0I was too busy hanging on!<\/p>\n

\"Day1334102\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Some of the scenery on the way down.<\/p>\n

\"Day1334103\"<\/a><\/p>\n

A nice little waterfall part way down. \u00c2\u00a0We had to scramble down the hill on the right. \u00c2\u00a0I am glad the rain stopped a couple of days ago. \u00c2\u00a0It might not have been possible to come down here without ropes.<\/p>\n

\"Day1334104\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Rocks near the bottom. \u00c2\u00a0Not a trail for sandals, we found!<\/p>\n

\"Day1334105\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Once down near the ocean, it is a quarter mile plus on the lava rocks. \u00c2\u00a0Not too bad if you are careful.<\/p>\n

\"Day1334106\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Over the edge are: Sea Turtles! \u00c2\u00a0More on them in our next post…<\/p>\n

\"Day1334107\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Back to the hike!<\/p>\n

\"Day1334108\"<\/a><\/p>\n

These are low waves. \u00c2\u00a0Last week they were much, much bigger…<\/p>\n

\"Day1334109\"<\/a><\/p>\n

At last, the Queen’s Bath! \u00c2\u00a0This is deceptive: there is a twenty foot high drop between here and there, seen here right at the “bottom” of the pool…<\/p>\n

\"Day1334110\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Neither one of us felt like being a mountain goat today, and the tide was starting to come in. \u00c2\u00a0That little stream is the outflow.<\/p>\n

\"Day1334111\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The Bath stretches to the left here, and there is a “U” shaped channel that runs back to the sea that will funnel all of the ocean into this tiny spot.<\/p>\n

\"Day1334112\"<\/a><\/p>\n

One of the falls on the way back.<\/p>\n

\"Day1334113\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Taking a look at the warning…<\/p>\n

\"Day1334114\"<\/a><\/p>\n

29 people are known to have been swept away from the Queen’s Bath (or 30 if they don’t know how to do tally marks\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6)<\/p>\n

\"Day1334115\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The easy part of the trail back up.<\/p>\n

\"Day1334116\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Some of the pretty flowers…<\/p>\n

\"Day1334117\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And the best thing about these flowers is they mean you are about ten feet below the top, and there are a few concrete steps!<\/p>\n

\"Day1334118\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This hike makes even golf look inviting!<\/p>\n

\"Day1334119\"<\/a><\/p>\n
