Haleakala National Park

This is an old volcano. From Wikipedia: Haleakalā, or the East Maui Volcano, is a massive shield volcano that forms more than 75% of the Hawaiian Island of Maui. The western 25% of the island is formed by another volcano, Mauna Kahalawai, also referred to as the West Maui Mountains.

The tallest peak of Haleakalā ("house of the sun"), at 10,023 feet (3,055 m), is Puʻu ʻUlaʻula (Red Hill). From the summit one looks down into a massive depression some 11.25 km (7 mi) across, 3.2 km (2 mi) wide, and nearly 800 m (2,600 ft) deep. The surrounding walls are steep and the interior mostly barren-looking with a scattering of volcanic cones.

We drove up the 37 mile drive up to the summit at 10,023 ft "one of the greatest elevation gains in the shortest distance in the world". I could feel myself being slightly woosey when we got to the top and walked around a little.

This is silverswords. A rare plant that only exists on the slopes of the crater above a certain elevation.
