• Description: On the island of Maui, 3000 miles west of the US Mainland, there exists a legendary ride which starts in a beachside town called Pa'ia and climbs 36 miles to the summit of Haleakala Volcano, Hawai'i's sacred House of the Sun, at over 10,000 feet altitude. The ride starts a block from hot, windy Baldwin Beach, climbs through the cool, grassy meadows and bronco-busting pastures of an area known as Upcountry, and finishes in chilly temperatures amongst a moonscape of volcanic rock in a section of Haleakala National Park known as Sliding Sands.
