About Hike Maui – Haleakala Crater Hike
Trade palm trees for a lunar-like summit as you explore two very different zones inside Maui's dormant volcano. Begin at the 10,000-foot rim, where a two-mile path crosses a vast expanse of rust-colored cinder cones and swirling clouds. After soaking in the panorama, drop to the 8,000-foot level for another two-mile walk along an ancient lava flow dotted with silversword and other rare alpine plants. Throughout the day a naturalist guide explains the geology, native ecology and cultural legends that make Haleakala sacred.
