The great valley atop Mount Haleakala on Maui is more than “the crater.” From ancient times to modern, Haleakala has been wahi pana, a storied place of Hawaii. Haleakala: A History of the Maui Mountain shares rich historical accounts and vintage photographs documenting geology, ancient myths, silversword and nene, Depression-era building projects, and the community effort that created a national park.
Discover these Haleakala stories and more:
– Hawaiians of old braved the chilly heights of Haleakala to study the stars.
– Herds of cattle once grazed in the crater and goats ran wild, destroying native plants.
– Early tourists on horseback toiled up rugged slopes to overnight in a rustic rest house. -- Boy Scouts helped save the Hawaiian goose―the nene―from extinction. Visitors flock to Haleakala National Park by the thousands every year. They gather at the summit to watch the sunrise over colorful volcanic cinder cones, and they play in the oceanside pools at Kipahulu. Beyond the popular attractions, there is much more to enjoy about Haleakala. Learn about this fascinating place in Haleakala: A History of the Maui Mountain.
