These
pictures were taken on the Skyline Eco-Adventure, a perfect adventure
for anyone over 10 years of age. Imagine yourself soaring over
gulches and through the trees at the 4200-foot level of Hale'akala,
one of the world's largest volcanoes. The specially trained staff
will outfit you with a customized seat harness and equipment before
leading you on a 1/2-mile beautiful hike into the woods to the first
take-off point. This is not only an exciting activity but also a way
to learn about the preservation efforts of the fragile native
environment. Ten percent of the company profits go toward
preservation. See skylinehawaii.com Max, our
