During our last trip to Maui, we decided to take a trip to Iao Valley. It had rained heavily the night before, but we didn’t realize how much rain had been coming down in this area until we turned onto the road to the valley. During the trip, the clouds were playing peek-a-boo with the mountains around us. It was a spectacular sight and one that had me wanting to stop the car every few minutes to take a picture.
As it happened, there had been enough rain to close the road at Heritage Gardens. Not expecting much from the gardens, we turned in and were rewarded with one of the most beautiful sets of gardens I’ve ever seen. I’d love to go back to see the gardens, but wonder if we’d get so lucky as to see the clouds and mountains do this dance again.
Very dramatic! Reminds me of the Battle of Kepaniwai.
It was very dramatic. The entire experience at Heritage Gardens was simply enchanting because of the rain, the clouds, and (of course) the setting!
