Hello Haleakala!

We woke up at 5am the day after New Year's to watch the sunrise at the highest point in Maui, Haleakala National Park. We arrived at 6 am to see the sunrise a little before 7 am. 

 Did You Know?

The peak of Haleakala volcano, at 10,023 feet (3055 m) above sealevel is the highest point on Maui, the third-highest point in the state and may be the "peak" of your experience at Haleakala National Park.

 It's so beautiful and serene, and the clouds shimmer with many, many colors. 

 I loved all the shades of pink and blue. 

 It was freezing, but fortunately we had bundled up in our puffy coats, mittens, and hats, beforehand!

 There were a lot of people there for the sunrise. Can you see how many people packed into the visitor center?

 Mr. F and I had so much fun!

 If you ever watch the sunrise from Haleakala, remember to dress like you're going skiing!

You pass through as many ecological zones on a two hour drive to the summit Mt. Haleakala as you would on a journey from Mexico to Canada.
