Anders took Scott and I on a hike in the Waikamoi Preserve reserve. It is right outside the entrance to Haleakala National Park. This area accesses a native Hawaiian forest. The first part of the hike is through a lot of non-native trees and flowers. |

This forest is a little more tropical-looking. |

This was a wonderful spot to stop and listen. Lots of singing birds in this part of the woods. |
