Hi! I'm Brian, a photographer based in San Francisco that has an avid love for the outdoors, travel, hiking, redwoods, astronomy, guitar, cameras, and writing.

I grew up near Bushkill Falls so I went often as a kid, and loved it every time. It's a beautiful place for photography (especially in the fall) and the main falls are 100 feet tall, making it one of the tallest waterfalls in the state. The only reason I give it 4 stars is because this land is privately owned and they charge you a whopping $13.50 to see it. This place should be a state park, and free to all.

The Road to Hana is not for the faint of heart, as parts of it is one lane and has hairpin turns. However, this is not to say it's a difficult drive. Exercise caution, obey the signs, and you will be fine. This is a very popular road for tourists, and you will see a lot of small shops on the way aiming at reeling some tourists in. Overall, though, it is a very beautiful drive with dozens of waterfalls and hikes. I recommend driving it from Paia all the way to the Kipahulu Visitor Center, which is the start of the Pipiwai Trail to the Seven Sacred Pools and Waimoku Falls. Do not go any farther than this (onto the Piilani Highway) unless you are prepared to drive even scarier one lane roads on the sides of a sea cliff that are very rugged and at some points unpaved.
