Photographer’s Note
After driving a short distance from Kahului on the island of Maui, you enter the beautiful tropical Iao Valley. At the end of the road you get to see the Iao Needle which is quite a sight when it stops raining.
"The lovely, deep valley of 'Iao features the 'Iao Needle, a natural rock pinnacle presiding over the 'Iao stream and surrounded by the walls of the Pu'u Kukui Crater. Once used as a natural altar, the 2,250-foot stone pillar covered in green, is a basaltic core that has survived eons of swirling water."
