The Hāna Highway is a 68-mile (109 km) long stretch of Hawaii State Routes 36 and 360 which connects Kahului with the town of Hāna in east Maui. On the east after Kalepa bridge, Hana Highway continues to Kīpahulu as Route 31 (Piilani Highway), the first section of which is unofficially considered to be part of Hāna Highway. Although Hāna is only about 52 miles (84 km) from Kahului, it takes about 2.5 hours to drive when no stops are made as the highway is very winding and narrow and passes over 59 bridges, 46 of which are only one lane wide. There are approximately 620 curves along Route 360 from just east of Kahului to Hāna, virtually all of it through lush, tropical rainforest. Many of the concrete and steel bridges date back to 1910 and all but one are still in use. That one bridge, badly damaged by erosion, has been replaced by a parallel structure by a portable steel ACROW bridge erected by the United States Army Corps of Engineers.
In August 2000 it was designated as the "Hana Millennium Legacy Trail" by President Bill Clinton, with the trail start designated in Pāʻia. The Hāna Highway is listed on the National Register of Historic Places on June 15, 2001.
The Hāna Highway is a popular tourist attraction in Maui. Guidebooks often devote large sections to traveling the highway leading to the eastern side of Maui and document the many waterfalls and attractions that can be found along the way.
At the end of the Hāna Highway (actually past Hāna in a clockwise direction around eastern Maui) is the ʻOheʻo Gulch, also known as the "Seven Sacred Pools". This series of waterfalls and pools is located inside the Haleakala National Park.

Hala Tree Fruit
The Hala Tree is a very important tree to the Hawaiians who used the tree in numerous ways. The tree most likely arrived in Hawai'i on it's own due to the fact that the seeds of the Hala Tree float. The Hala Tree can be found throughout the Pacific
The Hawaiians used the entire tree in a variety of ways. The leaves were woven into hats, mats, and roofing materials. The segments of the fruit were used as paint brushes and for food. Leis have been made with the individual sections of the fruit and the wood of the tree has been used to create water pipes, posts and calabashes. The pollen of the sweet smelling male Hala flower (Hinano) was used to preserve feathers and leis.

Sig - Sig is a fisherman, surfer, dancer, artist, and cultural practitioner. A native of O’ahu, he moved to Hilo seeking an unhurried life and became a student of Hawaiian culture in the mid-1970′s. He joined Hilo’s Hālau O Kekuhi in 1981, and his immersion in hula formed the core of his understanding of the plants of Hawai‘i and their uses in Hawai‘ian culture. Under teachers Edith Kanaka’ole and her daughters, Nalani Kanaka’ole and Pua Kanahele, he learned that hula and the natural world are inseparable. Sig Zane Designs, his iconic clothing brand, fuses cultural authenticity and excellent design.
Kuha'o - At five years old, Kuha'o created his first design: a toothy, modernistic image of an ulua fish on a white T-shirt. Years later, he designed an orange tux (with tails!) for his senior prom. In design school in Los Angeles, he added an urban edge to his rural-native-organic core. At 28, Kuha‘o Zane is chief of operations and head of design and marketing at Sig Zane Designs. Along side the design aspect of his life, Kuha`o has been dancing for his mother’s Hālau, a lineage that traces back seven generations. He credits his approach on design to the hula lifestyle that he was raised in.
