Even though the weather was a bit iffy most of the day I had a beautiful hike. It was a bit short as I was tired already (jogged 3 miles in the thin air this morning), and there were many distractions along the way, like this Ohelo berry…
and many vistas and photo ops
The trail was pretty, going through native shrubs and then through a fern, koa and ohia forest.
The rainbow on the way back was spectacular, I could not decide which picture to post (…) Seeing the dark clouds behind it and all the (wet) rain gear on people walking from the parking lot made me worry a bit about the weather, but I made it to the car dry. I am grateful for that.
The steam vents were going full steam, and there was a bonus orb, purple with a golden tail. It was in another photo too, at a totally different location.
