Piiholo
Piiholo is the name of a summit near the town of Makawao in the picturesque Upcountry Maui region on the slopes of Haleakala Volcano. The elevation of Piiholo is 2,260 ft (689 m) and the soils of the area are silty clays that are dark reddish brown in color. The fertile soils of Piiholo have been created from the long-weathered volcanic ash of Haleakala’s volcanic eruptions and have long supported the area’s ranchlands where many horses and cattle have been raised.
