Hawaii Adventurers: Ask an Expert

Three recent deaths on Kauai provide a timely reinforcement of the message that it's best to stick to marked, maintained trails and access areas. Two women died this week after falling off an unmarked trail, while a man died last week after jumping off a waterfall he reached by traversing private property. Agents should advise clients to stick to marked trails—a key resource for these is [www.hawaiitrails.org].
