Day 1: Maui - Haleakala National Park (4 miles) |
|
Haleakala is truly magnificent in the daytime hours while bathed in sunlight which brings its steep slopes to center stage and when endemic wildlife freely roam the landscape. Leisurely observe Nene geese in their native habitat and discover the secret of the rare Silversword plant. After a short walk past a meandering stream through a forest full of native Hawaiian plants, gaze high above at the iconic Iao Needle - a natural outcropping jutting from the mountain side; covered in emerald green vegetation and towering 1,200 feet over Iao valley. The valley is rich in history as a former ancient burial site for Hawaii's royalty. Maui is the second-largest of the Hawaiian Islands and has been called the "Best Island in the World." Popular spots on the island include Hāna Highway, Haleakalā National Park, and Wailea-Makena. More than two million people visit annually.
This scenic national park on the island of Maui is home to Maui's highest peak. Rising 10.023 feet above sea level, Haleakala's graceful slopes can be seen from just about any point on the island.
