The Distance Between Heaven and Earth.....

The Distance Between Heaven and Earth.....At times is barely noticeable.........…

 

Haleakala National Park - Kipahulu Visitors Center - The Southern Route to Hana........

 

The Kīpahulu Visitors Center of Haleakalā National Park can be accessed by driving 12 miles past the town of Hāna, on the famous Hāna Highway that circumscribes the northeast coast of the island of Maui. This area of the coast has been inhabited by native people for hundreds of years and remains an integral part of a thriving culture. Visitors to the Kīpahulu District are treated to views of waterfalls, sweeping ocean vistas, and Hawaiian cultural experiences.

 

 

The Kīpahulu District protects an intact ahupua'a, a traditional Native Hawaiian land division that protects all resources from sea to summit. The streams are home to endemic gobies and other fish species that evolved from ancient salt water ancestors.
