Near the top of Haleakala, the tropical pasture lands of the lower slopes turns into a barren rocky desert. This rocky desert explodes into view at the visitor center a mile from the top, when you suddenly get to peer over into the huge crater of the volcano.













Maui Hawaii Travels 2002       The highest point on Maui is 10,000 foot Haleakala (Halley Akka Lah), a dormant volcano. The drive to the top starts near the Kahului Airport and zig zags it way up the gentle northern slope of the mountain.
