Hawaii Haleakala

Haleakala is the place that well known as House of the sun. You might wonder why, just like me. Well,
there is a legend that tells the origin of Haleakala’s spectacular sunrise.The demi-god Maui and his mother, Hina. But the story is too long for me to tell you here. You can hear the whole story when you have a trip there.=)

Rising over 10,000 feet from sea level, Haleakala is renowned for its raw beauty and unique scenery.With the meaning "House of the Sun," Haleakala is a dormant volcano that was designated a national park in 1961. More than 29,000 acres in size, the park is a great place for camping, hiking, stargazing and horseback riding. Haleakala is world-famous for its spectacular sunrises (be sure to arrive at least 30 minutes prior).

The Park Ranger Headquarters and Haleakala Visitor Center, located in the summit area of the crater, house a variety of cultural and natural history exhibits. The rangers on duty will help you make the most out of your visit. The park’s bulletin board has a schedule of daily programs and activities, including guided hikes.There's so much pleasure for us, so many reasons for us to spent vacation here.
