The largest stretch of (relatively) flat land on Maui is the valley between the two volcanoes, Haleakala and the West Maui Mountains. This area is commonly called “Central Maui” and it’s here most locals live.
Volcanoes never cease to fascinate me! Something about their massive size and primal earth shaping power appeals to my sense of curiosity and awe. So it’s not surprising that I find Haleakala to be Maui’s most interesting place.
There are few destinations that evoke more traveler’s fantasies than the Hawaiian Islands; of these, Maui is thought by many as THE island to visit. I have a genuine fondness for the Big Island, but Maui also has its charms.
Looking remarkably like grass, this is actually a field of sugar cane. What’s lacking is a size perspective because these canes are about 3 meter(10 ft) tall.
It’s hard not to like a Maui sunset! I’m fond of this image because it was taken from the summit of Haleakala, looking down at the sunset and thick layer of clouds that surrounded the mountain and obscured the Pacific Ocean and Maui.
