One of the most surprising and spectacular views for me along the road to Hana on Maui, was the bamboo forest somewhere in the vicinity of mile marker 6. I had known there was a lot of bamboo in that area and I had planned to take pictures like this one, but I had no idea that it would be such a huge expanse – hillsides covered with canes perhaps 20 or 30 feet tall and giving the whole area a wonderfully soft, rolling texture.
