Road to Hana

People don't talk about "traveling" on the Road to Hana. They talk about "surviving" the road to Hana. We are talking about winding roads, blind turns, constant traffic, distracting views, narrow one-lane roads, cliffs... here is a shot of the road from one senic overlook:

The trip was worth it! The only thing I regret is doing it all in one day. Here are some scenes from the ‘Ohe‘o Gulch (aka 7 Sacred Pools). This is in the Haleakala National Park. The water levels were low so here the Pacific is pouring into a pool (usually its the other way around):




And my husband jumping off of a cliff into one of the pools... this was awesome:


After the 7 pools we hiked the Pipiwai Trail- also in th Haleakala National Park. This was a 4 mile round trip hike with a final destination of Waimoku Falls... falling 400-feet down a sheer lava rock wall. This was absolutely beautiful and WELL WORTH the hike to get to it...
