Hana Highway

 

To celebrate the Letter H today let's take a look at my three favorite stops along the Hana Highway!

The Hana Highway is a popular coastal drive on the island of Maui, Hawaii. Winding along the Southern shoreline of Maui there are a variety of places to stop and experience island beauty.

 

 Our first stop along the Hana Highway is the Garden of Eden Arboretum and Botanical Gardens,  a privately owned garden with beautiful views and a wide variety of tropical color!

 

 

The gardens were the perfect place to experience the beautiful blooms Maui had to offer, including this lobster claw plant ( aka Heliconia rostrata)

 

 

  

Next, on the best of the Hana Highway, is Black Sand Beach at Waianapanapa State Park.  It's hard to describe the beauty of the cobalt blue water washing up on the black lava sand, surrounded by beautiful emerald foliage.

 

 

 It doesn't get much more beautiful.

 

 

 

 Wrapping up my Hana Highway favorites, are the waterfalls that seem to be around every turn! 

 

 

 

 

Living in the Pacific Northwest I have seen my share of waterfalls but there is something special about 

Hawaiian waterfalls!

Let's close out the day with a little look-see-listen!
