Here they can be seen after arriving at the top of the tree line where we were positioned. At this point they were fingering down through the tops of the trees and about to fill the landscape with their surreal presence. During the rainy winter months it would be very dangerous to attempt the drive up as the roads showed signs of deep washed out ruts on the slippery clay they were made of. The road was narrow, steep and for the most part there were no places to turn around being they followed the side of the sheer cliffs. These roads are not recommended to anyone inexperienced with four wheeling, even in the summer, as the occasional rain storm could make them suddenly impassable.
Most visitors arrive after a quite lengthy and strenuous hike.
The area we are parked in is perfect for camping. This is a site we are planning a summer excursion to in the near future for Self-Discovery, Healing and Transformation groups. On the other side of the island, this beautiful pristine bay awaits the most adventurous of travelers. And that's me again, at the bottom, resting against one of the posts used as a channel marker for the canoes and other small fishing boats which come in and out of this bay. Flash floods are a very serious, deadly and frequent condition adventure travelers must be aware of and respect while visiting in Hawaii. .
