OVERVIEW |
|
| |
|
|
| |
Want to see the top of a cinder cone without
a lot of effort? Take this short trail to
the summit of Pa Kaoao, one of the highest
viewpoints in Haleakala National Park. Black
cinder, ashes, and hardened lava flows make
up the barren landscape. Cinder cones, the
volcanic vents formed from smaller
eruptions, dot the wilderness. You'll have
great views of the stark Haleakala volcanic
wilderness and , on clear days, neighboring
Big Island's tallest peaks........ |
