The visit to the extinct Crater was made with the object of obtaining moving pictures of the great crater, cloud effects and the trails to the summit. WILL BOOST MAUI. . . . The head of the Promotion Bureau declares that Maui is to be featured all over the world in future. SP-289

  7. Honolulu Star-Bulletin (10/12/1914) “The Trail and Mountain Club will soon undertake to send its members and others from Honolulu to the summit of Haleakala and return for perhaps as low a sum as $25. . . . “We must recognize the fact . . . That our great nearby available attraction for mountain climbers and trampers is the island of Maui . . . . There is no such succession of scenic wonders so grouped together anywhere else in the world as the summit of Haleakala . . . . SP-292

  9. Hawaiian Gazette (10/30/1917) ALL MAUI ROADS ARE FROM WAILUKU . . . Maui boasts nearly one hundred and fifty miles of main highways of solid construction . . . To Olinda and Trail Continuing ahead from Makawao the road leads to Olinda, twenty three and one-half miles from Wailuku. The trail to the Rest House on Haleakala extends about nine miles from Olinda. . . . SP-297

  10. From Job to Job Around the World (1917) “We made an early start. The trail was plainly marked with guide posts, each tenth of a mile. Idlewilde is eight miles by trail from the summit and the ascent from this point is over five thousand feet-seven hundred to the mile. The first three or four miles were comparatively easy, for we were fresh and the footing was good.” (Pages 21-22) SP-299

  11. The Maui News (6/3/1921) With Maui’s Girl Scouts “A company of three girls . . . Found their way to the Haleakala crater safe and sound without a guide. Learning that there are white posts which mark the trail to the summit, they assured themselves of finding their destination. . . .” SP-302

  14. Honolulu Star-Bulletin (9/23/1931) “E.J. Walsh . . . Has purchased the Haleakala horse transportation business and equipment from Worth O. Aiken, and has leased the Idlewilde property for a number of years. Mr. Aiken . . . Has handled trips to the summit and crater of Haleakala for the last 30 years . . . . Management of the Haleakala trips will be carried on much the same as under Mr. Aiken’s administration. Arazumi, official guide on the crater trips for more than 20 years, and who recently resigned, has agreed to return to the service and will be in charge of all mountain trips under the new management.” SP-310

  15. The Maui News (1935) Aiken told the crowd, “This is my one hundred and first trip to the summit of Haleakala and after the ride up today I can truly say that the first hundred were the hardest, though they may have been more replete with adventure and romance.” Outside the broadcast shack, AikichiArisumi, “veteran guide who has made the ascent of the mountain more than 1,500 times, stood with tear-filled eyes as he listened to his old friend, Mr. Aiken, speak to the world over radio. His mind went back over the march of years to the days when there was no rest house at the summit, when he had led parties of the great and near great over tortuous trails and stood with them in awe-filled silence at the brink of the crater which is one of nature’s marvels.” SP-312

  16. “Native Planters in Old Hawaii” (1972) “There is a horse trailtodaywhich passes from Makawao up over the western side of Haleakala (where there is now an automobile road), down into the crater, through it, and on down through the Kaupo gap to Kaupo.” (Page 491) SP-63
