Rainbow Falls and Huge Banyan Trees. Hilo, Hawaii






Rainbow Falls was as easy as cruising into a parking spot and walking down a sidewalk and There it is, amazingly photogenic beautiful waterfalls. If the sun is shining behind you often a rainbow is visible. Although there was no fun hiking here we did walk up to the top of a small set of stairs that exposed a HUGE grove of Banyan Trees off the side of the path. I have NEVER seen Banyan trees this big and expansive. It would be an amazing place to bring my kids so they could climb around. IT was so expansive, dark and filled with a canopy of tree limbs, roots, leaves and branches. One root in particular looked like a skeletal hand. Creeeeepy!

Janer, you forgot to mention the part about you almost taking down the creepy local homeless dude who was casing us out at the falls, wanting to break in to our car or spread his cooties on us or something. It was a face off between Jane and the creepy guyfor a very long and uncomfortable 20 seconds. I'm like, come on Mamma Bear, your cubs ain't here so get in the car and let's go! Sheesh, it was a close one. Good times.
