Maui - the road to Hana

One day we took the long, slow, beautiful drive to Hana. It's only about 50 miles from Kahului but takes 3 to 4 hours to drive. There are about 50 one lane bridges and many places the speed limit is only 15 mph. Many places the road is cut into the side of a cliff overlooking the ocean.

A black sand beach on the north shore.

One of the many, many waterfalls you pass on the trip.

The north shore averages around 360 inches of rain a year. The south shore of east Maui averages only about 10.

We stopped at the state park near Hana to eat lunch and got caught in a down pour.
