We stopped to admire this sculptural banyan tree on our hike to the Seven Sacred Pools in Haleakalā National Park in 2019. Every national park reveals something unique we’ve never seen before, or in the case of Maui’s banyan trees, something we’ve never imagined. These strangler fig trees are the largest trees on earth in terms of the area they cover. In fact the largest known banyan tree is located in the Indian state of Andhra Pradesh. It covers a land area of 4.7 acres (1.9 hectares). #GrandmaJoysRoadTrip #Haleakala #Haleakalā #HaleakalaNationalPark #FindYourBark #Banyan #BanyanTree #Maui #Hawaii #HawaiiLife #RoadToHana #OptOutside #USNationalParks #RoadTrip #TravelBlog #TravelBlogging #TravelBlogger #TravelBloggers #IntoTheWild #GreatOutdoors #AdventureTime #BigTrees @hawaiipacificparks @haleakalanps @gohawaii @parksproject @travelandleisure
