After checking out of our condo and having all day before our evening flight, we drove up to see Haleakala Crater "House of the Sun." Being at an elevation of 10,000 feet I can say that is the highest I have been on foot. It was truly amazing, even though I kept scaring myself.
It was really cloudy so once we got above the clouds we couldn't see anything below. We felt like we were on top of the world. I am really glad we took the drive up to the crater. It was a beautiful sight and maybe the next time we can go early (3am) and see the sunrise.
This is about 4,000 feet, where we are still below the clouds and you can see the West Maui Mountains in the back.
