Pony Express
Haleakala is an ideal place to explore by horseback. Pony Express is a company that offers horseback rides into the deep Haleakala Crater. The elevation of this area is high enough to make a noticeable difference in the quality of the air. Hiking in this high elevation environment is much more difficult than it is at the lower elevations and to be able to experience this area from the back of a horse is the only alternative to the strenuous hike due to the parks ban on bicycles and motorized vehicles on the craters trails. Pony Express offers a variety of different packages that vary in length of time and the amount of distance that they travel. The Haleakala Crater is such a unique environment that many of the plants and animals that are found here are not found anywhere else in the world. The Silversword plant is found only in the craters of Maui and the Big Island is one of the more pronounced of these unique plants with its long stalks and flowers easily visible from hundreds of yards away.…
