Here is a picture of our camp in Haleakala National Park. It was beautiful! You could take a walk right out to the ocean.
Apparantly, it was not recommended you swim here:
After setting up camp we took a drive to find the Red Sand Beach. The directions we had were not too clear, so it took a bit of wandering. There was a trail that led right down into this cove. It was awesome and the water felt so good after the hike there. Little did we know it was a popular nudie beach! Just kidding… But we did get an offer for some weed, but figured we already had enough, so we turned it down. hehe
The next day (Friday the 20th) Jeff, Christin, and I got up to do some hiking. It was only like a 4 mile hike- round trip. The trail starts out pretty rocky, then it leads you through a bamboo forest. There are a couple bridges overlooking green valleys on the way.
At the end there is a waterfall that’s about 400 feet high or something. It’s HUGE; the pictures just don’t do it justice!
The famous 7 Sacred Pools were just a walk away from camp. We all got in our suits and took a swim. They really were amazing.
On our way out of camp we stopped to see where Carl A. Lindberg is buried. It was such a quaint and peaceful place. On the grounds is this old chapel that was built in the 1800’s; so old and still being used and still as cute as ever.
Last stop was the Black Sand Beach. There is this lava tube you can crawl into and the water comes crashing right into it. It’s a really fun beach.

Enough pictures, Mini?
It's beautiful, like always!! Your little garden must be prospering for you all to turn down the weed offer. Hana sure is pretty.
So amazing! We are envious. We might just have to plan that dream vacation while we have relatives in Hawaii!
Lots of pictures, i know. I just assume more pictures, less text. There were so many to choose from it made being concise hard.
Sarah, Maui should definately be in your future plans!
I love the pictures! It looks like you are having an amazing time. I love how green and lush it is over there. It's about the same here in Utah :). It rained for the first time in six weeks yesterday! We love hearing about your hikes and adventures; we get to live vicariously through you!
