Kipahulu

The Kipahulu area of Haleakala National Park is lush and green and full of waterfalls in total contrast to the red and gray bare lands of the Haleakala crater. To get there you'll have to drive the highway to Hana, a narrow, twisting, full of hairpin turns and one lane bridges road. At Kipahulu you can hike and swim in the pools (when the streams are low). From the Kipahulu Ranger Station, trails lead upstream through the rainforest to larger waterfalls and spectacular overlooks of the coastline. Kipahulu has a long history of human habitation. Many historic and archeological sites are visible from the trails in Kipahulu.
