'Ohe'o Gulch is located in the Kipahulu part
of Haleakala National Park. For many years this place was called
"The Seven Sacred Pools" a name that was actually a marketing
gimmick intended to attract tourists to the area (the pools are
not sacred and there aren't seven of them). It a series of lovely
waterfalls and swimmable pools that cascade until reaching the
ocean at the volcano's base. The flow of water made its way through
volcanic rock and the rainforest engulfs the place with lush
vegetation. It's a very lovely spot. When we visited the pools
were close to swimming due to floods. The 'Ohe'o Gulch is located
at the end of the highway to Hana, a narrow, twisting, full of
hairpin turns and one lane bridges road. There is also a campground
just on the other side of the 'Ohe'o Gulch parking lot.
