Haleakala Panorama

Waiting for a winter sunset above the crater of Haleakala (elevation 10,023 feet (3,055 m).

 

Maui's volcano last erupted sometime between 1480 and 1600 AD.

 

Haleakalā is Hawaiian for "house of the sun." According to a local legend, the demigod Maui imprisoned the sun here in order to lengthen the day.

 

It is a national park.

 

Thanks for stopping by!
