    Beautiful Kaupo Gap is enshrouded with clouds and surrounded with greenery.

    Kaupo Gap on the south flank of Haleakala Volcano originated when a large section of the mountain slid south from erosion cause by wind and rain over a period of thousands of years. A lava flow that overlies the debris flow at 340-ft elevation is about 120,000 years old. The eastern segment of Haleakala Crater opens southward through Kaupo Gap.

    Looking into the crater of Haleakalā, from the crater rim at 10,023 feet (3,055 m). From the summit one looks down into a massive depression some 7 miles across, 2 miles wide, and nearly 2,600 ft. deep. The surrounding walls are steep and the interior mostly barren-looking with a scattering of volcanic cinder cones reaching as much as 1,000 ft. high.

  • Kaihalulu Red Sand Beach, Maui, Hawaii

    Kaihalulu Red Sand Beach, Maui, Hawaii

    This very secluded beach near Hana is one of Hawaii's prettiest beaches, but it is difficult to reach. The remains of a caved-in cinder cone have created the beautiful cove in which this crescent-shaped beach is found.

  • Honokalani Black Sand Beach, Hana, Maui.

    Honokalani Black Sand Beach, Hana, Maui.

    Honokalani beach was formed by a lava flow that went directly into the ocean while hot, which caused the molten lava to quickly solidify. Entrance to the cave at the Maui black sand beach on the road to Hana The quick temperature change caused the lava to shatter into small pieces and form the black rock and sand on the beach.
