Up Country Botanical gardens and Lavender Farm


Up country is referred to as the cluster of towns located 2,000-4,000 feet up the slope of Haleakala, a dormant volcano. This part of the island has green rolling hills, switchback roads, cool mountain air. It is definatley cooler up here as we found out that it drops 3 degrees with every thousand feet. On the day we 
went it was 20 degrees cooler. We enjoyed the morning exploring the Botanical gardens, some trails and the lavender farm. Then drove back to the coast for a warm relaxing afternoon by the pool. After all we were here for some heat!!!
