where’s the most beautiful place that you’ve ever backpacked? this trip was a dream for me, and i was devastated that i didn’t get a chance to stay for longer, especially because i really did have the entire area to myself. i’ve heard when the honu are hatching that this area can get pretty busy, but honestly i would not want to go during hatching season because i’d feel bad about being anywhere near the water and risking potentially disturbing the wildlife. keep nature wild amirite!? #happystep
