Where man has yet to build a road.
Five hundred years ago, the south facing slope of Haleakala was exploding. Rivers of molten lava from fountaining vents rushed to the sea. One of the largest and most recent vents called Puu Pimoi is situated 3000 feet above sea level just below the settlement of Kanaio along the back road to Hana. The quantity of lava erupting from this vent was so great that it pushed its way out into the sea forming new land. The cooling effects of water against hot lava resulted in exquisite patterns and shapes – pinnacles jetting out of the sea, caves, arches, and grottoes – art which nature created that man has yet to rival.
