Views on the Road to Hana

One day, we decided to drive the loop around Maui that included the Road to Hana.  This road is a popular one for tourists, altho some get a bit unnerved by all the twists & turns on the way to Hana!  There are so many sights, this blog will be focusing on the beautiful scenery, that also include some wonderfully moss covered bridges.  There will be more sights to share in future posts as well.

One of the things that is so wonderful about this road are the beautiful sights.  As the road twists and turns, fabulous views keep peeking in and out.  And frequently along the roadside, there are bushes with beautifully brilliantly orange colored blooms.

Maui is a tropical island, and as such, it’s very warm and humid – perfect conditions for moss.  And, where is the moss most visible?  On the bridges that bridge many, many creeks and brooks the originate somewhere with a waterfall.  And, as I looked at many bridges, it just seems like they are creating their own form of art.

And, here are some of those creeks and brooks!  They are just so happy looking – there’s really no other word for it.  As I looked at them, I just had to smile.  All the green surrounding the rushing water, made each little scene look so much more lush than seems possible.

Brooks and Creeks

As I walked along the roadside to photograph the brooks, creeks, scenes and waterfalls, there were also lots of small flowers that kept peeking up at me!  Here are a couple that always seemed to appear when I sometimes least expected them!!

Finally, let me leave you with this view from both sides – one side shows more of a babbling brook – the other shows us how the flow got gentler as it made its way to the open ocean.

Enjoy!
