OMG look at this gorgeous #nene photographed by hiker Carly out in front of #Kapalaoa cabin at #HaleakalāNationalPark on #Maui. Beyond that we have nothing to add but that this shot is stunning and this bird is gorgeous and look at that sky! Thanks, Carly!

Yep, Kapalaoa is another good one. Often go down Sliding Sands to Kapalaoa, sleep over, then hike to Holua, spend a night there, then hike out up Halemau'u.

Stayed at Kapalaoa years ago, hiked out via trail past Holua. Good times. 👍

As I noted on Strava, “More of a jog-walk-stop than run. Who’d have thought soft sand and uneven basalt don’t lend themselves to personal best times?” https://www.strava.com/activities/9216014330

For the islands i pulled from the sea.

Great response to the Haleakala landscape I posted, so here's another one...and another rainbow, this one just after sunrise, looking west from Kapalaoa Cabin, with three Pu'u (cinder cones) framed by convection clouds 📷
