Haleakala

Aloha...Then I went to Haleakala National park. This is the worlds largest dormant volcano and has a very unique landscape. It is said to be very similar to the surface of the moon and they do astronaut training as well as some top secret scientific research I guess...
This place was beautiful and for once I found a cold place on Maui! At over 10,000 feet I was thrilled. :) I was able to see a few Nene--they are the Hawai'ian state bird as well as an endangered and protected species. This is definately a place I want to revisit and backpack.
