Michael Garrison > Kahakuloa Head (Pu'u Koa'e) from the Kahekili Highway -- The waters of Kahakuloa Bay are in the foreground. The hill is an eroded pale-white trachyte lava dome formed during cycles of quiet flows alternating with explosive eruptions of cinders.
Michael Garrison > The church at the mauka end of Kahakuloa Village, west Maui. Kahakuloa Head looms in the background.
Michael Garrison > The village church, Kahakuloa, west Maui.
Michael Garrison > The beach front at Kahakuloa Village, west Maui. The roadcut for the Kahekili Highway can be seen on the hillside in the upper-left corner of the picture. From this point on until you round Kahekili Point and head toward Kahului, the settlements are smaller than this and are far-and-few-between.

Michael Garrison > Seacliffs near Kahakuloa Head. No beach sands are able to accumulate here because of the nearly continual heavy surf. A squall line with embedded rain showers is advancing on the shoreline in the upper-left corner of the photo.
Michael Garrison > Headlands of Nakalele Point, northeast of Honokohau Bay, west Maui.
Michael Garrison > Poelua Bay, Kahekili Highway, west Maui.
Michael Garrison > Poelua Bay, looking northwestward from the Kahekili Highway. Photo taken in early April 2006 just after two and a half months of strong winter storms. Heavy surf from the spent storms was still crashing into the windward-side beaches of Maui two weeks into April.
Michael Garrison > A small "sea stack" carved out of a lava-rock promontory, juts out into Poelua Bay. Note the whitecaps and heavy surf.
Michael Garrison > A waveset slams into the sea cliffs along Kahekili Hiway.
Michael Garrison > No place to surf here! Exposed reef along the headlands of the North Shore near Kahakuloa Village, west Maui.
Michael Garrison > A small park along Waiehu Beach Road, looking northwestward toward the municipal golf course. Even the beaches near busy Kahului Harbor (just south of here) are very attractive and are popular with the locals.
Michael Garrison > Waiehu, west Maui, about two miles north of Kahului.
Michael Garrison > Close-up of the ruins of the Haleki'i-Pihana heiau.
