SkyWatch Friday & Looking at the Sky on Friday, Scenic Sunday - Inside the Crater
Click on photos to enlarge!
Jerry and I hiked down into Haleakala Crater during our recent trip to Maui, Hawaii (November 2010).
Jerry and I hiked down into Haleakala Crater during our recent trip to Maui, Hawaii (November 2010).
You can see the Pacific Ocean in the distance beneath the clouds.
There are over 41 miles of trails inside this crater and the views are incredible.
We took the Sliding Sands trail down until we began to worry about the ascent back up!
It gets dark earlier this time of year and this is NO place to be in the dark, unless you are backpacking and settled for that time of day.
The top of the crater is at the 10,000+ foot level and it is cold up there.
The descent is 2,400 feet in elevation to the bottom and 3 3/10 miles each way.
On this day, we only went about 1/2 of the descent but plan to go farther on our next visit.
If you want to get away from mankind...this is the place to be.
The haunting sound of "quiet" can be experienced along this trail.
Notice the person hiking (wearing blue) on the right.
You feel so small here...
I want to spend more time in the crater.
We have visited numerous times at the top but this was the first to step inside.

Watery Wednesday / If Heaven Had a Highway...
Click on photo to enlarge!
If heaven had a highway this would be it!
This is the beautiful Hana Highway (highway 360) that leads to Hana, Maui, Hawaii.
The road to Hana is two lanes with lots of one-lane bridges. Tourist literature says there are 600 turns, though I don't know exactly how they classify a turn since the road is NEVER straight.
Waterfalls tumble from the mountains, one after another, along the way.
(you can see the road skirting along the coast in the photo)

...so many places to stop along the way to soak up the beauty...
ABC Wednesday / "U"
I have learned to avoid drinks with umbrellas because they have SO many calories.
So, I just took them out!
We enjoyed a few Mai Tais while in Maui, Hawaii for 11 days last month.
The letter is U.

A Wailea Sunset in south Maui, Hawaii USA
As the sun dipped below the horizon we enjoyed the "green flash."
Awesome!
Unfortunately, I didn't capture it.
I was doing well to see it with my own eyes!

This is a wonderful beach to spend the day when the water is calm.
Some people ventured down to get a closer look while my husband and I were walking along the bluff above.
Sea arches, caves and lava tubes are fun to explore in this area of southeastern Maui.
Watching the water hit the rocks was very entertaining!

That's My World Tuesday / Is it Fall in Hana, Maui, Hawaii???
Click on photos to enlarge!
I posted what I thought was my last "fall colors" post a few weeks ago.
I posted what I thought was my last "fall colors" post a few weeks ago.
Those photos came from the high country of the Eastern Sierras, California and also Taos, New Mexico.
Little did I know that I would find even more fall colors in Maui, Hawaii.
These trees are brilliant orange, yellow and red right now.
I really don't think Maui knows about the fall season...but, there are fall colors in the Hana area of southeastern Maui.
These same trees are deep green everywhere else around the island, that I saw anyway.
This area is a bluff just above the ocean...certainly NOT high elevation.
Beautiful Hana never disappoints!

My husband and I took an 11 day trip to Maui, Hawaii and just returned this past Friday night.
I missed the letters Q & R so I will add them to S for this week.
This is the view we had on a bluff overlooking Ho'okipa Beach on the eastern side of the island.
It is well know around the world among the wind surfing crowd.
It is a place where we like to spend some quality time together...just watching.
Some wind surf.
Some kite surf.
And, others board surf.
Some enter the water from the sandy beach while others prefer climbing over the rocky bluff .
Ready, Set, GO!
What a gorgeous sight it is!
Can quality time get any better than this?

That's My World Tuesday / Butterflies on the Water!
Click on photos to enlarge to full screen.
Surfers, wind surfers and kite surfers all share a long stretch of beach on East Maui, Hawaii called Ho'okipa.
This area is well known around the world among the wind-surfing crowd.
It is late afternoon and the sun is peeking through the thick clouds creating fabulous light!There are three kite surfers and one wind surfer in this scene.
The wind is fierce with rain over the West Maui Mountains.
That's how these young people like it!
You can see a kite surfer among this group of wind surfers.
The sky is getting darker and darker.
West Maui is barely visible.
This guy is calling it a day!
...and they are not all guys!
This girl is from England and really enjoyed herself out there.
They are like "butterflies" on the water...
