If you take the trail from the Seven Sacred Pools and the Kipahulu Visitor Center for 1.83 miles, you end up at the 400 foot Waimoku Falls. The falls are so sheer, you need a wide angle lens to catch them all in one shot. This shot was taken through a cool, light drizzle which caused some haze in the early afternoon sunlight. We were hiding the lens under a backback to keep the raindrops off of the lens.
The hike to Waimoku falls goes past huge Mango trees, a dense, dark bamboo forest and beautiful, non-native tropical foliage. The side of the trail has numerous overlooks over huge aquamarine pools carved out of the lava cliffs and numerous water falls some trickling and others rushing down lava precipices, each covered with ferns and lush green moss. Overall, it was worth doing the Hana drive a second time and a fun, if drizzly, afternoon.
