Lava Meets Coral

Lava met broken coral on our hike today. Hoapili Trail, Maui.

We cleaned our plates at an old Maui institution: Mama’s Fish House. We enjoyed the freshest fish, cooked well: spendy, but worth it.

We started at 8,000 feet, walked along a ridge, then frequently zigged and zagged: Halemauu Trail, Haleakala National Park.

Posted Six Maui Hikes.

Our hike started in the clouds at 6,000 feet: Boundary Trail, Polipoli State Recreational Area.

Hiked past rare silverswords growing on cinder 10,000 feet up on Maui’s Haleakala. They can live for decades, they flower once, then die.

Hiked under an epiphyte.

Windmills greeted us at the top of our hike.

After the sun set, we sat on the beach, sipped beer from plastic cups, and watched the ever-changing sky over the island of Molokai.

Sea turtles had the right of way on my beach walk today.
