are you all tired of beautiful beach shots yet?

this red sand beach was made when the rhiolite cliffs seen here were eroded into beautiful reddish purple sand you see here. Volcanoes are amazing. The hike here was tracherous, drawfed only by the drive here that was even more treacherous.
The bottom line is that most things worth seeing and doing on maui are a little dangerous. But, rounding the bend on this place was not what we expected and was totally worth the wondering and questioning of, "is this really a good idea?"


the rocks make a protective cove here keeping the real waves and changing tides crashing on the outside of the cove while the calmer waters inside offer swimming with marginal pull.
