Hiking Haleakala on Maui

 

Basketballs in the sky

Heading up Haleakala

Glimpse into the crater

Starting down, nice view of the Big Island Volcanos

Silversword in bloom! These rare plants grow for about 50 years before finally blooming, once, and dying.

Finally, at the bottom of sliding sands trail, in the bowels of the crater

Pele's paint pot

Pu'u Mamane, my lunch with a view and turnaround spot

The far end of the crater

Mordor?

Driving around the Up Country region the next morning

bombarded Kaho'olawe, little Molokini crater on right

The paragliding, model airplane, disk golf field, with killer views towards west Maui
