On the way back down we saw a beautiful rainbow that spanned across the morning sky. I always wanted to have long, thin legs!!! But when you wake up early to see the sunrise, you get to take a funny picture of yourself with a really long shadow. There’s a whole different perspective from way up here.
Remember, this is the view from above the clouds. It was actually more colorful here than the side where the sun came up. I know…who would have thought it could be like that in Hawaii? If you go, wear long pants, hats, and waterproof, warm clothes. But the amazing view was worth enduring the frigid conditions. In fact it was brutally cold, damp, and very windy. It was not warm and balmy up here at all. Haleakala is 10,000 feet above sea level. But since we were 6 hours behind what we’re used to in the eastern time zone, it wasn’t bad at all. When I say early, I mean we left at about 4:00 local time. We made the early morning journey to Haleakala National Park on day 3 of the trip to watch the sun rise. We would pick them up whenever the wind blew them off the trees. I’m not sure what the name is, but they grew in clusters on trees around the islands and smelled wonderful. These are much smaller than they look in this picture.

For full disclosure, go here.Īnother sunrise. If a purchase is made after clicking one of the links I might make a small commission. This post contains affiliate links for your convenience. The scenery on those islands is even better than what we saw in Maui, so be sure to stay tuned. I’ll post some from Oahu and Kaua’i in an upcoming post. I’m sharing a few of my favorites from our adventures on the island of Maui. I took way too many pictures, but that’s to be expected. Everything was heavenly, from the food to the scenery to the beaches. We were extremely fortunate to be able to go to Hawaii recently and we saw so many beautiful things.
