Haleakala

The drive to Haleakala National Park in Maui is hard to describe in words. A two hour journey took us from sea level to the summit at 10,023 feet. While driving towards the summit the scenery changed dramatically. Maui's beaches and the lush greenery seemed a million years away. Once Inside the park we drove into a desolate desert and complete wilderness. The winding road cut through the clouds and reached high into the sky. The sky was an ever changing canvas of beauty and drama. The reward was a stunning view of the volcanic landscape of Haleakala. I was not prepared for this amazing experience and it was truly mesmerising.
