But its scale is lunar: 7 miles across and nearly 3,000 feet deep. On clear days, you can see the Big Island from Haleakalā’s peak.

Haleakala means “House of the Sun” in Hawaiian — and the name is rooted in legend. According to Hawaiian folklore, the demigod Maui climbed to the summit and lassoed the sun, slowing its journey across the sky to give his people longer days. ⁠ This sacred name also belongs to a peak rising above the Kaupō Gap, where the mountain’s power and story live on. 💫 ⁠ #Haleakalā #HouseOfTheSun #HawaiianLegends #Maui #SacredLand #HawaiianCulture #KaupōGap Elevation: 10,023′ Location: Maui, Hawaii Last er
