So, day 4, Saturday, on Hawaii. We got up early, around 5:30 am, to hit the road around 6. Today we decided to do the road to Hana. Let me just explain a little bit about what the road to Hana it. It is what it sound like, in that it is a road that leads to a town called Hana. However, on this trip, it is the stops you make along the road to Hana that make the trip.
The road to Hana is about 68 miles long, and has 46 one lane bridges to pass through, and approximately 620 hair pin turns. Needless to say, it takes quite a while to travel this road, and beware if you are a person that gets carsick. Let me just say that the Hana Highway is the most beautiful, scenic road I have ever taken. The waterfalls, the lookout views of the ocean, the tropical flowers, it was gorgeous and well worth the trip!
We also stumbled across a black sand beach, which was pretty awesome. After the black sand beach we made it to Hana. Just past Hana we made a stop at the Haleakala National Park. We went here to see the Seven Sacred Pools. The sacred pools are a series of waterfalls and pools that trail through the O'heo Gulch and flows into the ocean. This was very beautiful to see as well. It actually rained for the first couple days on the island, so some of the park was marked off for us not to see because the water was so high. And, we pretty much had to walk though mudd the entire day, but it was well worth it.
