Hawaii Tropical Botanical Garden
The Hawaii Tropical Botanical Garden is a nonprofit botanical garden and nature preserve located just North of Hilo on the East side of the big island. The garden is located in a scenic valley opening out to Onomea Bay, and features streams, waterfalls and a boardwalk along the ocean. It contains over 2,000 plant species, representing more than 125 families and a three-tiered Onomea Falls waterfall. The boardwalk and paved trail winds through the garden for just over one mile which I was sure to tackle before the heat (and humidity) of the day set in.
