PUBLIC AND PROMOTION
MATTERS
“An excellent horseback trail,
with resting stations and guide
posts, has been opened to the
summit of Haleakala, the great
extinct crater on Maui.”
SP-274
Hawaiian Gazette (1/5/1906)
“Olinda is the site of the
halfway house bearing that
name on the route to the
‘House of the Sun,” or the
sublime crater of
Haleakala.”
“Lately the trail has been
put in good order and must
become increasingly
popular with tourists . . .”

“Secretary Wood’s report to the
Promotion Committee this week is
as follows: . . .
The Maui folder, in addition to
the map of the twin islands, will
also carry a good map of
Haleakala, giving elevations, trails,
etc. . . .”

“Haleakala was attacked last week by a party
of tourist and Promotion people. 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.

“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 . . . .

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
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)

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. . . .”

“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
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, Aikichi Arisumi,
“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 awefilled silence at the brink of the crater which
is one of nature’s marvels.”
SP-312
“Native Planters in Old Hawaii” (1972)
“There is a horse trail today
which 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
