To the Summit of Haleakala and then Lunch at Pukalani Country Club

​Drive to the summit of Haleakala in the morning.  I rearranged the schedule so that we needn't rush through this trip.  We can take our time and then have a late lunch at Pukalani Country Club.

Drive to Haleakala Summit

We'll try to pick a clear day to drive to the summit of Haleakala​​​

There's a couple of national park visitor centers on Haleakala.  Plus, there's assorted pullovers including one to look at Rainbow Eucalypsis trees.  We'll take our time to take in the views.​

Remember to bring water!
