Waimoku Falls, Waterfall in Haleakala National Park, Maui, Hawaii.
The waterfall drops over 400 feet (120 meters) down a sheer rock wall, sending up a cool mist that you can feel on your face even from a distance.
The area around the falls has been cherished by native Hawaiians for generations, and today it remains part of a protected national park that honors its natural and cultural heritage.
Many visitors describe standing at the base of the falls as an almost spiritual moment, where the roar of the water and the lush surroundings create a sense of peace and connection with nature.
The hike to reach the waterfall is about 4 miles (6.4 kilometers) round trip along the Pipiwai Trail, which winds through a bamboo forest and crosses several small streams along the way.
Walking through the towering bamboo grove on the way to the falls is like stepping into another world, where the stalks sway and knock together in the wind, creating a soft, almost musical sound.
