Haleakala National Park
Anyone who hikes across Haleakala Crater will swear they could be on the moon, or Mars,
but surely not Maui. The crater basin is a 19-square-mile volcanic panorama crisscrossed
by colorful cinder cones and 28 miles of trails. It's a place of adventure and of silence.

Haleakala's trails. With that thought in mind, here's a rundown of the most popular hikes,
