The Northwest Coast

Here are some photos from our drive around the northwest tip of Maui, along the Kahekili Highway.



This highway winds around the coastline, back and forth along gulches and becomes incredibly narrow in places. Many blind corners were accompanied by beautiful views, but we tried to stay focused on the road until we came to the overlooks. . .













At one overlook, we had a very expansive view of the ocean behind these two pu'u, or hills (above).







There were lots of misty mountain and valley views (of the West Maui Mountains) as well.







You can see the road across the gulch in this photo.
















At one overlook we came upon these small pu'u covered in large rocks.





As we walked down towards the ocean, we started to see all the red earth and spring green grass covered hills. It made both of us think a little bit of the rolling hills of Scotland.




I spotted this small semi-hidden cave as Russell was taking in the view. A good shelter from the strong winds for someone or something.


The red earth was a great contrast with the blue ocean adn sky. Earth, water and sky!











Our drive eventually took us to Honolua Bay for some snorkeling, (sorry, no underwater camera).
