At the end of the Road to Hana (actually about 10 miles past Hana) is the portion of Haleakala National Park that contains the Seven Sacred Pools. We took the Kuloa Point Trail for views of the pools and ocean. Swimming in the pools has been banned since 2025. Can you tell which shadow is who? I took the photo.
There are far more than seven pools and they are not technically sacred. The name was coined for marketing purposes. Which begs the question: is nothing sacred? The real name is 'Ohe'o.
Papa Tom and Ryder on the 0.5 mile Kuloa Point Trail. The banyon tree is unique because it is a "walking" forest-forming ecosystem, capable of living for centuries and covering acres from a single seed. The complex system of aerial roots descend from the branches to become new trunks.
