The Road to Hana and a 400-foot Waterfall!








On Thursday we got up really early and drove Maui's famous Road to Hana. It reminded us of the Cabot Trail but with more lush foliage and waterfalls. Filled with curves, twists and dozens of one-car bridges, the road led us to a beautiful national park where we hiked an hour into Wailua Falls. To get to the 400-foot cascade, we hiked through a massive bamboo forest that made the most eerie noises when the wind blew. It was a gorgeous hike and we enjoyed every minute. On the way back down we stopped at the Garden of Eden Aboretum, a beautiful 26-acre botanical garden with a view down to Keopuka Rock, featured in the opening scenes of Jurassic Park.
