Poli Poli forest

We took the day to go to Poli Poli forest, finally open again after the big fire from January 2007. What a shame to see the damages...

Une balade hier dans la foret de Poli Poli, une des richesses de l'ile, devastee par un incendie en janvier 2007...

Polipoli Springs is most notable for its mature forest of redwood trees and other exotic native Hawaiian trees such as plum, cypress, sugi, and ash. Extensive trail systems transverse the reserve. Thousands of feet above sea level, there are no mosquitoes in the area, but the temperatures can get quite cold.

Below the report...




At about 1 p.m. on Tuesday, Jan. 23, a Polipoli State Park user reported a fire on the Waiohuli Trail in the Kula State Forest Reserve. The fire was located about three miles from the Polipoli camping area. Helicopters, tankers and heavy equipment were dispatched immediately. However, within two hours, the fire located on the southwesterly flank of the mountain, approximately 6,500–7,000 above sea level, had spread over about 30 acres of densely forested land. The County of Maui reported that no homes were in danger.

Wedding on the beach
