The old Hasegawa General Store in Hana used to sell t-shirts that said "I survived the Hana Road"!
I owe my life to a Hawaiian mamane tree (Sophora chrysophylla). In the early 1980's I was driving up to Haleakala Crater, fell asleep behind the wheel, and went off the road. A mamane tree caught me and stopped my car from rolling down the mountain.
The road from Paia to Haleakala Crater goes from sea level to 10,000 feet in just 38 miles. Awesome, yet dangerous!
Next time you want to go to Hana, maybe try the back road that goes through Ulupalakua and Kaupo. There's not so many cliffs to look down, and there's some amazing dryland plants to see along the way!
Here is meu, Cibotium hawaiiense, a rare tree fern only found in old growth rainforest.
