Day 7, hiking the Waihee Ridge Trail
|
|
|
|
Waterfalls to the north from the Waihee Ridge Trail
|
|
|
|
|
To the south is the Waihee Valley
|
|
|
In some spots, the trail drops off very steeply, and on both sides. But it's flat and grassy on the top
|
|
|
One of my favorite spots on Maui, on Waihee Ridge overlooking Waihee valley

|
|
When we get high enough, we can see the rocks at the north end of the island in the distance
|
|
|
When you zoom in...
|
|
|
...they don't seem so far away
|
|
|
The end of the Waihee Ridge Trail, 2.5 muddy and very slippery miles in

|
|
There are quite a few people hiking here today
