Haleakala

We were heading out to Lahaina when we saw the sign for Haleakala, so we decided to go. Haleakala is a volcano on the island and the top is at 10000 feet. We drove up through some beautiful prairie and pine trees.
We eventually drove up above the clouds

We finally arrived at the top of the crater after an hour...
and boy was it cold!!! It was about 40 degrees. Everyone was dressed in long pants and jackets. We couldn't even stay out longer than 10 minutes in our shorts and tank tops. It was amazing to see.
Inside the crater there was a alien landscape in hues of red, orange and black.

We really enjoyed the scenery on this trip. It was very interesting.
