In the Hawaiian language, Wai’ale’ale means rippling water or overflowing water.
As this rainwater makes its way down the 5,148-feet tall peak, they form innumerable streams.
One spot on Mt.
Mount Waialeale isnt easily accessible on foot.
The sides are near vertical and ground is covered with trees and plants with a thick undergrowth of ferns.
There are a few hiking trails in the area.

There are several reasons why Wai’ale’ale receives so much rain.
The summit itself is rather barren, despite all the water it receives.
One of the reasons for that is that few plants and trees can handle that much rain.
However, fungi and lichen flourish here.
