Where Am I?" Waterfall Edition has a winner! Viki Arkoff was the first person to identify the name of the waterfall (Waimoku Falls) and the park in which it is situated (Haleakala National Park on Maui, Hawaii) featured in this photo. We thought we'd include some words from the reader, Darlene Fiske, who submitted this great photo:
"After driving the road to Hana in Maui, Hawaii with Hike Maui, our guide (and driver) Ray took us on to Haleakala National Park and we hiked two miles to get to the 400-foot-tall Waimoku Falls, where we ate lunch in the mist of the falls. We walked through the most amazing bamboo forest to get there. We tasted unusual fruits along the way (all presented by our guide) and ate our packed lunch in the mist of the waterfall. I carried my issue of Condé Nast Traveler all through Hawaii and this was the most special place we found."

I love that picture. A 2 mile hike is well worth the view of that breathtaking waterfall. And to have lunch there...a once in a lifetime opportunity...i am inspired to go to Hawaii for that experience...thanks for sharing...
