Description
At the Pools of 'Ohe'o, or the Seven Sacred Pools, in Kipahulu on Maui, HI...past Hana on the Road to Hana..........Unfortunately, the pools were closed due to rock slides and it was impossible to get into a good position to get all of the pools and waterfalls in the frame! And it was incredibly windy, which was tough on my light traveling tripod! But I was able to get into a good spot for this shot, thank goodness, and it was a little bit sheltered! Here's what MauiGuidebook.com has to say: Verdant and diverse, ‘Ohe’o Gulch is an idyllic valley cut deeply over countless millennia by an equally idyllic rainforest stream. The stream is punctuated regularly along its course by cascading waterfalls and plunge pools until it empties into the deep-blue Hawaiian ocean along the rugged Kipahulu coastline...........The most accessible pools are also very well suited for swimming and cliff-jumping – which is what makes this remote site among the most popular in all of Maui...........So, you’ve probably heard this place referred to by many names, and you may be asking: “Which is it? ‘Ohe’o Gulch, Haleakala National Park Kipahulu, or Seven Sacred Pools?” The proper name of this attraction is ‘Ohe’o (Oh-Hey-Oh). “Seven Sacred Pools” is a name coined decades ago by the owner of what is now Travaasa Hana (previously Hotel Hana Maui) for the purpose of marketing this deservingly spectacular (but then unknown) remote location to tourists. Since this is part of the Haleakala National Park, the NPS has also added their own name to the mix “Haleakala National Park, Kipahulu.”.........Whatever you call it, this collection of (many more than seven) pools and waterfalls is absolutely spectacular!

I know, Debbie, wouldn't that be so fun?! Unfortunately the pools are closed off to the public there!! I was very disappointed, because it also made it very difficult to get a good viewpoint of everything! Thank you sooo much!! I really appreciate it!! :)))
