하와이 섬의 열대 보타닉 가든은 너무 멋진 곳이다.
반드시 가볼 것을 추천한다.
온갖 열대 식물과 식생 그리고 바다가 어우러져 있다.
촉촉한 습기와 온도 그리고 냄새는 기분을 좋게 만든다.
이보다 더 쾌적할 수 없을 것 같다.
힐로 쪽에 위치하므로 섬을 가로질러 간다.
시간상 차이가 크지 않으므로 북쪽으로 돌아가는 루트를 선택했다.

달력에서나 볼것 같은 그림같은 폭포에 가슴속까지 후련하다.

아직 트래일이 끝나것이 아니다.
좀 더 가면 바다를 만난다.

이 거대한 나무는 하늘 전체를 덮는다.
캘리포니아에서 높은 나무는 많이 봤지만 이렇게 우산처럼 하늘 전체를 덮는 나무는 처음이다.
스케일과 시원함에 놀라지 않을 수가 없다.
