Rainbow to Hana

Rainbow to Hana
Haleakala National Park, Maui, Hawaii.

This part of the coast, along "the road to Hana", is home to the Seven Sacred Pools (which you may have heard of). The mouth to the Palikea Stream is just to the left of the white water.

After an all day drive on Maui's East coast my wife and I finally wound up here with some decent light. The only problem with this part of Maui is it's very wet. The rain would roll through for 5-10 minutes at a time where I had to take my shirt off and cover the camera with it. The good thing is that just before the rain hit I would get these vivid rainbows!

I figured this particular rainbow is pretty much pointing at Hana (a few miles back) - thus the title is born...
