ʻO kekahi papahana ʻē aʻe hoihoi o ka mea nui ecological nui ka pale a me ka mālama ʻana o nā hipa bighorn, i mālama ʻia e ka nānā ʻana i nā lehulehu, ke nānā nei i kā lākou mau hoʻohua hānau a me ka mālama ʻana i nā census mai ka lewa; Akā ʻo ka mea nui o kēia mau mea ka makaʻala kūʻē i nā mea ʻaihue.

I KA WAIWAI
Ke hoʻomau nei me kā mākou hoʻomākaukau, ua hele mākou i ke kahua kālaola o kahi mālama e noi ai i ka ʻae e piʻi i ka lua pele, a laila, me nā lako āpau i ke kau, hoʻomaka mākou e hele ma waena o ka wao akua ma lalo o ka lā mau ʻole. No ka pale ʻana iā mākou iho mai ia mea, hoʻopili mākou i nā pāpale kila a puni ko mākou poʻo, ke ʻano ʻAlapia. ʻO Turbans ka pale ʻoi loa i ka lā, no ka mea ua pulu lākou me ka hou, a ʻoluʻolu lākou a pale i ke poʻo, a pēlā e pale ai i ka maloʻo.
ʻAʻole kipa pinepine ʻia ka lua pele ʻEkolu mau puʻupaʻa, huki wale ia i ka poʻe aloha i ka huakaʻi a me ka ʻimi ʻana, e like me nā ʻepekema, nā mea ʻimi holoholona a me nā mea hele wāwae. ʻO ka ʻike o nā Puʻupaʻa ʻEkolu mai kona kumu he mea kupaianaha, e like me ka honua ʻē aʻe; kona mau pali ahi, i hana ʻia me nā pōhaku pele ʻeleʻele, i mea e noʻonoʻo ai e pili ana i ka paʻakikī o ka piʻi ʻana a me ke ʻano o ke ola e hiki ke noho i nā ʻāina maloʻo a kolohe hoʻi.
ʻAʻohe moʻolelo kikoʻī ʻo wai ka mua i piʻi i ka lua pele. I ka makahiki 1870, i ka manawa o ka ʻimi ʻana o ka mining i lawe ʻia e ka hui Farani, ua hōʻea kahi Kelemania ʻo Heldt i luna, a ma hope iho ua piʻi aʻe kekahi mau kānaka no ke kumu hoʻokahi o ka holo wāwae, e like me nā kāhuna pule o ka luakini o Santa Bárbara, i ʻO Santa Rosalía, nāna i kau i nā keʻa ma luna.
ʻO ka inoa o nā Puʻupaʻa ʻEkolu ma muli o ka hana o kāna mau piko ʻekolu i kahi ʻāpana maikaʻi ʻole, ʻimi iki ʻia, wahine puʻupaʻa a mamao loa hoʻi, kahi e hoʻomau ai ka papa mele millenary o ke ʻano, i hoʻomaka ma kahi o 250 tausani mau makahiki i hala.
ʻO ka pele nui hope loa, kahi i hoʻolei ai ka pele a me nā pōhaku, i hōʻike ʻia e Fathers Consag lāua ʻo Rodríguez i Mei-Iune 1746; i 1857 hoʻokuʻu ka luaipele i nā nui o ka mahu.
I ka pae mua o kā mākou huakaʻi, hele mākou ma waena o nā mānoanoa o nā lālā keʻokeʻo, nā torote, nā lāʻau mesquite, nā chollas, nā cardones a me nā lāʻau ʻelepani hoʻoliʻiliʻi e pili ana nā aʻa i wili i nā pōhaku lua pele nui loa.

Aia ke ala hele maʻalahi ma waena o ka luapele ʻEkolu Puʻupaʻa a me ka lua pele ʻo Azufre. Ke neʻe nei mākou i mua, komo mākou i ka honua maikaʻi o "nā lāʻau kūlohelohe ʻole", e like me ka mea i wehewehe ʻia e ke kahuna Jesuit ʻo Miguel del Barco (ka mea kākau o ka puke Natural History a me Chronicle o Antigua Kaleponi), ka mea pūʻiwa i nā ʻano capricious o nā pua o ka wao akua, i haku ʻia me biznagas, cacti nunui, nā lāʻau ʻelepani, yuccas, ihoiho, a pēlā aku.
ʻO ka mea nani a pīhoihoi e pili ana i kēia ʻāina e waiho ana i kāna palapala ʻāina kiʻekiʻe, kahi e loli ai ke kiʻekiʻe, e hoʻomaka ana mai ka ʻilikai a kokoke i 2000 m ma ka piko o nā Pūʻali ʻEkolu; Ua ʻae ʻia kēia laulā kiʻekiʻe e ʻike i nā ʻano mea kanu like ʻole e noho ana i ka lua pele.

ʻAʻole i pau ke kahakaha ʻana o ka topografi mauna lua ʻole a pīhoihoi iā mākou. Ma hope o ka hele ʻana i ka nahele nahelehele o nā ihoiho, piʻi mākou i kahi puʻu, ma waena o nā Puʻupaʻa ʻEkolu a me ka Sulphur, kahi i lilo ai ka ʻāina i makaʻu nui a pouli hoʻi, i noho ʻia e kekahi cacti, magueys a me yuccas e pili ana i ke ala i kekahi ala. Maikaʻi loa. Ua lohi kā mākou piʻi ʻana e ka instability o ka ʻāina.
Ma hope o kekahi mau hola o ka lele ʻana mai ka pōhaku a kahi pōhaku, ua piʻi mākou i ka hopena o ka wahi pōhaku, kahi i kū ai i mua o kahi keʻakeʻa like paʻakikī: kahi ulu mānoanoa o nā lāʻau ʻoka liʻiliʻi a me nā lāʻau sotol nunui (Nolina beldingii).
