Central Lanai
The island of Lanai resulted from a single volcanic mountain, Lanai Hale, that erupted one time millions of years ago. The resulting island lies 59 miles southeast of Honolulu, covers 141 square miles, and is 3,370 feet high at its highest peak. The crater walls now encircle the Palawai and Miki Basins. These basins are flat, wide land masses covered in scrubby vegitation and large rocks and boulders. The Lanai Airport is located in the Miki Basin, only a few miles from Lanai City.
Directions:
From Highway 440 West and Highway 440 South, the walls of the crater are easily visible.
Useful Information:
The soil of Lanai is dark red from the minerals in the lava ash and cinder.
The hillside easily crumbles - DO NOT attempt to climb the walls of the crater area.
