Return of the Haoli (Waterfalls)

Maggie and I took our leave from the rest of our party and endeavored to visit as many waterfalls as we could in one day. This means a day on the east side of the island, since it gets most of the rain (thus waterfalls).

Above is Rainbow Falls, which is pretty much IN the city of Hilo.I don't remember the name of the falls above, but they were right above a rock formation called the "boiling pots", because of the wild white water flowing through them. You get creative when you don't own a tripod. The largest falls of our tour, Akaka Falls, is 420 ft tall. For you Oregonians out there, Multnomah falls is 542 ft (the main falls). Go Oregon.
