Atop Haleakalā - East Maui Volcano

-

Haleakalā (/ˌhɑːliˌɑːkəˈlɑː/; Hawaiian: [ˈhɐlɛˈjɐkəˈlaː]), or the East Maui Volcano, is a massive shield volcano that forms more than 75% of the Hawaiian Island of Maui. The western 25% of the island is formed by another volcano, Mauna Kahalawai, also referred to as the West Maui Mountains.

The tallest peak of Haleakalā ("house of the sun"), at 10,023 feet (3,055 m), is Puʻu ʻUlaʻula (Red Hill). From the summit one looks down into a massive depression some 11.25 km (7 mi) across, 3.2 km (2 mi) wide, and nearly 800 m (2,600 ft) deep. The surrounding walls are steep and the interior mostly barren-looking with a scattering of volcanic cones.

Marie, Tony and I vacationed in Kauai in 1996. My biggest regret is not doing the Helicopter Tour of Nā Pali Coast and North Shore of Kauai. Soar over Kauai -- along the Na'Pali coast, above Waimea Canyon and past Mount Waialeale -- on your very own private, doors off helicopter tour. DO IT! This was by far the best helicopter tour I've ever been on and I really can not recommend it enough. We used Mauna Loa Helicopter Tours. They were extremely professional and passionate. Shout out to our pilot, Chris, who was just the best. Nā Pali Coast State Park is a 6,175-acre (2,499 ha) state park in the U.S. state of Hawaii, located in the center of the rugged 16-mile (26 km) northwest side of Kauaʻi, the second-oldest inhabited Hawaiian island. The Nā Pali coast itself extends southwest from Keʻe Beach all the way to Polihale State Park. The nā pali (many cliffs) along the shoreline rise as much as 4,000 feet (1,200 m) above the Pacific Ocean. The state park was formed to prote...

Listening to Kolohe Kai Radio on Spotify I love Iam Tongi.   Lyrics Blue water dancing, ocean spray in the air Trade winds waving your jet black hair Island girl, kinda east side crazy You never call me yours, but you call me baby Why Kiki?

Tidal wave touch, had a sugarcane kiss Put your straw in my stomach, took down the last sip All I got of you now is a number in the phone I'm sitting here thinking and all I wanna know is Why Kiki? Why you wanna do me like that Kiki? Why you gotta hurt me so bad, Kiki? Why you got me down on my knees? Tell me why, Kiki? Why you wanna make me so sad Kiki? Take my heart and break it in half, Kiki You got me begging, pretty please Tell me why, Kiki? Why are you leaving me lonely? (Lonely) And why do you act like you don't know me? Why Kiki? Why you wanna do me like that, Kiki? (Do me like that) Why you gotta hurt me so bad, Ki...
