Not only did I get to stand on the top of a 10 023 ft volcano, but I also got to watch an amazing sunrise from it's peak. I'm not surprised that this bucket list item was accomplished in Maui, Hawaii is a group of islands created by inactive volcanos. We had to leave the condo around 3:30 am, and drive in the dark up the dormant volcano of Haleakala. It was interesting going from swimsuit weather at the base to putting every piece of warm clothing I owned on as we approached the summit. Wrapped in a blanket, sitting at the summit I watch the sun creep over the horizon.
The bottom photo is of my mother, and I at the summit minutes after the sunrise. If in Maui I would highly recommend going up to watch the sunrise on Haleakala. It was an amazing opportunity, though I had to get up early for the drive, and the weather was extremely cold; the view made it all worth it.
