When visiting Haleakala National Park in the Kipahulu District, past Hana, there are two very popular trails to choose from. I recommend doing both of them. The first and shorter trail (.5 mile), Kuola Point Trail, will take you to the lower falls of Ohe’o Gulch and the ocean.

The Ohe’o Gulch, or Seven Sacred Pools, call them what you will, is just one reason why you should drive past the town of Hana. Spectacular waterfalls, bamboo forests, incredible beaches are some more, but this post will focus on what you will find on your way to Ohe’o Gulch and the Gulch itself.

If you are looking for a beautiful, peaceful, oceanfront property to spend a few nights in Hana, you must check out Hana Kai Maui Condos. The property offers 17 units, ranging from studios to 2 bedroom/2 bath units. Five of them have unobstructed views of Hana Bay.

One piece of advice I would give to anyone traveling the Road to Hana is to stop and spend the night in Hana. The best waterfall on the island is past the town of Hana and is a 4 mile roundtrip hike, moderately strenuous, which you will be too tired to attempt if you try to do the drive to Hana and back to wherever you are staying in one day.

…
Saguaro National Park is located in Tucson, Arizona approximately 2 hours south of Phoenix. It is divided into two sections, the Tucson Mountain District (or West) and the Rincon Mountain District (or East). They are located on either side of Tucson, approximately 30 minutes apart.

Ro Ho En Japanese Friendship Garden, located in Phoenix, Arizona, is a lovely spot to spend an hour or so. It is only 3.5 acres, so it does not require a lot of time to visit. The hours of operation are different throughout they year, with the garden closed for the months of July,

We’ve made a couple of quick trips to Arizona, my husband to work and myself as a tag-a-long adventurer. We usually try to add a day to the beginning or end of the trip so that I am not doing all of my adventuring solo (both my kids are in college,
