Road To Hana

 Photos from our trip to Maui, October 2014. Some sights along the way on the Road To Hana. I found the bottom airiel photo online to show what the Road to Hana actually looks like.

We drove out one morning in daylight, but by the time we stopped and hiked and went sightseeing it was dark on the way home. No lights along the road and quite an experience!!
