Maui Vacation Part 3

All of these photos are from our road trip on Hana Highway, which goes to Hana and further to a section of Haleakala National Park where most people visit the famous pools. We went on a 2 mile one-way hike up to Waimoku Falls. This trail led us through a very awesome bamboo forest. When the wind blew, the bamboo knocked together, creating a very cool mega-wind chime. The highway to Hana is very curvey and narrow. It was slow going but much to see, including waterfalls galore. This made for a long day of driving and was also one of highlights of our trip in Maui. We stopped for dinner in Paia on our way back at a place called Flatbreads. Definitely some of the best pizza ever!
I don't remember all the names of the waterfalls, there were so many.





the bamboo forest, I thought it was an awesome part of the hike

okay I know the name of this waterfall, this is the falls at the end of the hike, the Waimoku Falls
