On the road to Hana

The Hāna Highway (also known as the Hana Road or Road To Hana) is 68-mile roadway and the main highway connecting the population center of Kahului with the town of Hāna in east Maui. Although Hāna is about 52 miles from Kahului, a typical trip to Hāna takes about three hours, as the road is very winding and passes over many one-lane bridges. The "Road to Hana" is a popular tourist attraction for those visiting Maui. Guidebooks for the island often devote their largest chapters to traveling the highway to and from the eastern side of Maui and document the many waterfalls and attractions that can be found there. At the end of the "Road to Hana" (or actually past Hana itself in the regular clockwise direction) is the famous "Seven Sacred Pools", originally known as Oheo Gulch. These waterfalls and pools lie inside a national park.
