The Seven Sacred Pools is part of Haleakala National Park and located on the eastern part of Maui, about 40 minutes beyond Hana. It is formed by Pipiwai stream which creates a series of pools and waterfalls as it enters the ocean. When weather conditions are right there is good swimming and hiking; during heavy rains, neither is good. Ohe'o Gulch is the correct name, it was named The Seven Sacred Pools by the Hotel Hana back in 1947, or so, in an attempt to attract visitors to the area and stop by the hotel for lunch on the way. The truth is that there are many more than 7 pools and there is nothing sacred about them, but the name worked since thousands of tourists visit the area daily.
