Because it was so amazing, and so unearthly that it absolutely took my breath away. Most people won’t hike this trail, as they have blinders on for only watching the sunrise from the crater rim (which is truly an awesome experience too). But for those adventurous souls who venture well below the crater rim, a surreal and beautiful world awaits unlike any park experience in the entire system. It’s a world of strange endemic plants (silversword) found only in this small ecosystem, of barren red moonlike dirt, and of scattered volcanic cones on all sides of the trail. Simply said, it’s like walking on Hollywood’s version of Mars. Some trails you remember, some trails you forget, and some trails are truly epic. This one definitely falls into the epic category. Have you visited Haleakala NP, and if so, did you hike down this trail? Follow me @jonathan_irish for more images like this and around the world.
