Cloud-filled Haleakala volcanic crater, Haleakala National Park, Maui, Hawaii

Hawaiian folklore holds that Haleakalā Crater is home to the creator of the Hawaiian Islands, Māui. It's certainly true that most of this same-named island sprang straight from here on Haleakalā: The giant shield volcano makes up about three-quarters of Maui's total area. If you're up for a brisk break from the beach, the Sliding Sands Trail offers an 11-mile scramble to Haleakalā's summit—with plenty of stunning photo ops along the way.
