I dragged Les and JoAnn out while others pondered the day. A cool area. Very green! More of a nature walk with a cool view. There is 133 steps I think I read somewhere. Some cool plants. A few with Jurassic size leaves, and the Iao Needle. I say park on the side of the road before the pay both. You can make it a mile outing or so and you don't have to pay the five bucks. On a side note. I saw a classic move from an old school(local) grandma. Beer in her hand, cigarette on her lip on a short steepish trail to water under bridge. Grabs toddler(grandson?) by the hand from above her, swings him down and up on her shoulder and down the trail to the water without spilling her beer or dropping her cig! :o

This capped a 7-day family vacation in Maui and served as a leg stretch before a tortuous red-eye home. It was a nice contrast to the beach. We had great cloud cover/mist and Andrew and I found a refreshing pool to jump into. He hesitated until I pointed-out that soaking in a pool in a rainforest is a bucket list activity! Beautiful day!

Stopped here before going to airport. I love visiting this park. Very peaceful but also can be busy as well.
