Biking Down Haleakala, Maui |
|
 ...and
now for something totally different!
Imagine standing at the top of a 10,000
foot dormant volcano -
two miles high - getting on a bicycle, and coasting down a 38-mile
road all the way to the ocean, without pedaling. This is a reality
on Maui's Mount Haleakala.
Thousands of downhill biking enthusiasts have experienced this adventure since
the industry began in 1982. Of all the activities on Maui, this is
the unique one – the bike ride that can't be done anywhere else on
earth.
This is how it works. You're picked up at your hotel and transported
to a baseyard at the foot of the mountain. Here you're fitted with
the windbreakers, helmet and gloves you'll be wearing on your
downhill journey. After a continental breakfast you're off to the
top of the mountain where you witness the spectacle of Haleakala
Crater. This enormous crater is 21 miles in circumference, 3000 feet
deep, and is large enough to fit all of Manhattan Island within its
perimeter. If you choose to go at sunrise (a good choice) you will
also see one of the most spectacular solar displays found anywhere.
Your breathtaking descent begins from the crater rim. Each group
follows a lead guide in radio contact with the "chase van" that
follows the group with cameras, warm clothing, etc. Many stops are
made on the way down for extraordinary views of the island. A
luncheon stop is usually made at one of the restaurants and then the
final descent is made to the sea.
Once at the bottom, the experience takes on a somewhat surreal
quality as your mind keeps replaying the constant series of turns
and roadways that led to your final destination. One glance up at
the top and you realize that you've conquered a mountain. You've
connected with Maui in some way that you know is different. You
smelled the camphor of the eucalyptus trees as you passed through
the forests, and you breathed the cool thin air from Maui's highest
slopes. Today was a different day for you, and it was worthwhile. |
