Haleakalā National Park

And the county also wants people to stay off the road to Hana, which is likely to see landslides and extreme flooding.

And both districts of Haleakalā National Park will be closed at least through Saturday.

Shelters on Maui will be open tomorrow at noon.

They include the Lahaina Civic Center, South Maui Community Park Gym in Kihei, and Mayor Hannibal Tavares Community Center in Pahala.

Well, we still need to do the JMT, but yeah, um Sam and I or like I showed Sam I don't know you probably already saw it but there's like a hike that goes basically like through Sequoia Kings over to the other side and you like pop out and like the Whitney side and it's only like a hundred miles and it would be like such a cool backpacking trip and I would love to do that one as well yeah um but anyway so Siki is my number two

nice um yeah another one for me is Haleakala National Park in Hawaii on Maui um very very unique like volcanic rock very otherworldly looking unique plants that I had never seen before crazy birds um and then there's like at sunrise and sunset you are over let's see the The top is over 10,000 feet.

So if you're up on top of the park in the evening or early morning, you're above the clouds.

And so the sunset and sunrises are like really spectacular

No, I'm excited.

I was like pretty bummed to not get to do some of the other ones as well because like I've serviced Pacific West and the Pacific Islands for, you know, the last 10 years or so.

At one point, I was like the main point of contact for like Haleakala and Havo and Pearl and American Samoa and everything.

And yeah, and so they are like tough parks, but they are very close to my heart.

Aloha, Scott.

I'm a college student in Hawaii, and my archaeology professor just told me about a spear point some hikers found in Haleakala National Park, a volcanic crater here.

Scientists have long been looking for evidence that the Polynesians not only settled islands like Hawaii, but actually made it to the Americas around 1000 AD.

I think this spear point could be that evidence, and that's why I'm hoping you can come take a look.
