Hawaii - Day 4 - Road to Hana

Car caravan on the road to Hana (a 3 hour long, very windy, but oh so cool, drive)

Stop #1 - Haleakala Nat'l Park (near the coast, just past Hana), we hiked to that waterfall on the left

Ginormous tree!

And a dense bamboo forest



I went a little overboard on the bamboo pics...here are a just a few of my favorites






The main attraction...I got a lot closer, but you couldn't get the whole waterfall in the picture then since it was so tall

Friends from across one of the ravines

And back at the top of the waterfall

Where the river hits the coast


Cool birds were nesting there

Stop #2 - Red Sand Beach


A few folks went swimming and snorkeling


Stop #3 - Black Sand Beach and lava tubes (it was getting late and the park ranger kicked us out of the park)


Stop #4 - Vegan dinner, after a very long day
