Maunawili Falls

Aren't they beautiful? They remind me of protea. I wouldn't dare pick one. They were filled with hundred's of ants.
One of many stream crossings...it was impossible to keep your feet dry, especially for a boy.


Ronan found this one on the ground and said " Oh flower, you are so beautiful and smell so good (citrus smelling) and I'm keeping you forever". The flower didn't last long.


The waterfall was just up there.





See all the people swimming? We chose to stay out since there was a BIG, FAT sign that said Leptospirosis warning. Almost all of the fresh water here is contaminated with it. Your chances of getting it are slim, but no swim is worth getting sick.





So if your hiking in Hawaii and hear some Howler monkey's, have no fear. We ended up passing by the monkey's that responded to all of Greg's calls...yes there were multiple calls. We heard them for quite some time as they made their way down the mountain.
