Camping at Kipahulu February 18-19, 2006This weekend, we decided to get out of town and go around East Maui and camp in the Kipahulu area of the Haleakala National Park. We took the "long route", that is we drove counter-clockwise around East Maui, through upcountry Maui and the Kaupo road towards Kipahulu. After camping, we returned via the Hana highway.
We visited a black sand beach near Kaupo. At Kipahulu we took a swim at the Pools of Oheo ("Seven Sacred Pools"). There was a lot of whale activity off the coast by the campgruond and we enjoyed a great, quiet evening of grilling, eating, resting, and of course, beer drinking!
Here are some selected photos of the trip. (Please be aware that some of the photos show the wrong date 1/1/2003)
Aloha!

So - is the picture of the sign "no cutting trees" and the from the same place as the dangerous looking person clutching all that tree-like material?
The photos of the sign and the "dangerous looking person" were taken at different locations; The Black Sand Beach near Kaupo and the Kipahulo Campground respectively. While it is true that cutting trees is not allowed at Kipahulu either, it is OK to gather branches that have fallen off to the ground.
No live trees were harmed in the production if these photos.
Aloha.
