Description
View of Mauna a Wākea Hawai'i Island over the ocean and clouds in the distance at sunrise from Kalahaku Overlook Haleakalā on Maui . .
Much like many other cultures of the world Hawaiians believe the highest points on our islands are the most sacred.
Of the four major Hawaiian Islands traditions state that the highest and most sacred places are
Mauna Wai'ale'ale on Kaua'i .
Mauna Ka'ala on O'ahu .
Mauna Haleakalā on Maui .
Mauna a Wākea on Hawaiʻi Island . .
Mauna a Wākea being the most sacred place of all because it is the highest. If you include the portion of the volcano above and from below sea level to the ocean floor it is higher than Mount Everest.
The view east over the crater from Kalahaku Overlook on Maui at sunrise is beautiful . .
The Kalahaku rim overlook, at 9,324 feet above sea level provides an amazing view of the crater floor and when the atmospheric conditions are good on this side of the summit you can see our neighboring island of Hawaiʻi over the ocean . . .
