Haleakala Crater, now a dormant volcano,completely dominates the landscape of east of Maui.The spectacular desolation of its enormous crater valley- 7.5 miles long, 2.5 miles wide and 3,000 ft deep has been compared to the mountains of the moon. Pastel hues of red,yellow, orange as well as gray purple brown black and pink accent cliff sides and cinder cones.its worth waking up in the dark of early morning to drive from beach front resort and watch the sunrise over Haleakala 10,023 foot summit.
#NationalPark
On the back side of Ka'uiki Hill in Hana, Red Sand (Kaihalulu) Beach is just a five minute hike, but steep drop offs and loose gravel from this cinder cone make it a treacherous trip. Not for the faint of heart or perpetually clumsy, but daring adventurers are rewarded with dramatic red cliffs and a cerulean blue cove providing a sheltered swimming area.

Kaʻeleku

Kaʻeleku
Found this beauty while exploring the back roads of Haiku in upcountry Maui.  With lush green pastures, rolling hills and towering eucalyptus trees, you are worlds away from the sand and surf that most people associate with the island.  No wonder Oprah comes here to get away from it all!

Haiku

Though Haiku might not have many top sights, you can venture to the surrounding area to see attractions like Haiku Park and Hoʻokipa Beach Park.

It was so lovely. The only thing missing was a pasta strainer. My text messages and phone calls were answered promptly and I was given all of the right answers. We're from Virginia, and Hawaii has been a dream of mine since childhood. If I ever make it back, I will definitely stay here again.
