Crater-mania!


Oh, yeah baby! Haleakala is as gorgeous as I remember, and it is definitely my favorite place on Maui. I love everything about it - the colors, the geology, the vastness, being up high, the views, the smells, the history....


Haleakala is over 10,000 feet ASL!

Government observatory


Surreal landscape!

Amazing!






Driving from sea level to 10,000 feet is very cool... the switch-backy road is super fun (at least it is when you're the driver!). and the sights are unbeatable. The variety seen in the landscape in such a short distance is incredible.

After spending the better part of the day touring to and around Haleakala, we chilled in Paia and I enjoyed (in a sad way) my last Maui rum. Then it was off to the airport to catch the red-eye home.



And..... POOF! Another fabulous vacation comes to an end. However, all that really means, is that it's high time to plan the next adventure!

Cheers!
