Haleakala is an active, but not currently erupting, volcano that last released its fury in 1790. Over 200 years later the land surrounding the lava flow is still barren. The summit rises 10,023 feet above sea level. The crater is 3,000 feet deep, 7.5 miles long and 2.5 miles wide - a total of 22 miles in circumference. Made it to the summit...what a scary drive!
Amazing! They had to post this sign? I sure did not feel like running around... I obeyed this sign.
As for the Volcano Bike rides...no thanks...Drive up, get the view and quickly get down.
This is above 10,000 ft. so the air is thin.
I enjoyed this, and I am glad I did it...but I will not be doing this one again.
