Pele's Paint Pot

The only way to experience this adventure of a lifetime is on foot; multi-day backpacking through the surreal alpine desert of Haleakala on the island of Maui. With my son and friends, we traversed through the colorfully oxidized volcanic cinders of an area unofficially known as Pele's Paint Pot. Haleakala is also known as one of the quietest place on earth, measured in negative decibels. With a dark night sky and desolate landscape with uniquely adapted endemic plants and wildlife, it is an exceptional place for contemplative solitude.
