#bamboo foest

On Maui, hikers have been rescued from places like the “Bamboo Forest” in Kailua, the upper reaches of ʻĪao Valley, and East Maui’s Kaihalulu Beach. A swift water rescue at Waioka in Hāna earlier this month ended tragically when a visitor died in a flash flood event at the location.

Three different groups of hikers, ranging in age from 18 to 57, were rescued from various locations along the trail, according to information released by Maui Fire Services Chief Lee Mainaga.
