[Amati]

A heads up, if you are headed for a trail hike or mule trip to Kalaupapa, you'll maybe need to postpone your plans. The trail is closed due to rain damage.

The past week of heavy rain created a mudslide that caused serious damage to a footbridge on the "pali trail," forcing the National Park Service on Tuesday afternoon to close the only land route to the Kalaupapa Hansen's disease settlement, which remains accessible by plane or boat. Kalaupapa National Historic Park Superintendent Stephen Prokop said yesterday it will take about $150,000 and several weeks to repair switchback bridge No. 3.
