Haleakala National Park

 

This weekend I joined Renee and Sean in Maui to hike and camp at Haleakala National Park. We cruised up the volcano crater, nearly 10,000 feet above sea level with our packs strapped to back. At the summit, where the thick clouds lingered around the crater, we could see for miles. Barren volcanic dust, lush green valleys, the bluest of skies and desert tundra - all in the same place. Horay bats kept us awake at night. We hiked for seven miles on Saturday, camped and then continued up the mountain. After our nearly 3,000-foot climb, we headed to the beach.
