Haleakala Sunrise, Maui

Sunrise from the Haleakala Summit

One of the "must do's" on the Hawaiian island of Maui is to get up in the wee hours of the morning, drive up the dark twisty road to the 3048 m / 10,000 foot summit of Haleakala volcano, stand in the freezing cold and watch the sun rise above the clouds. If you think its crazy to go to Hawaii and seek out cold, don't worry, you won't be alone up there and besides it's definitely worth the shivering. One word of advice; bring a jacket and long pants on your trip. Don't be one of those hotel bathrobe or towel clad tourists I saw at the summit.
