Maui Post #1: Haleakala Summit

Sebastien and I are in Maui for a medical conference; I am just suffering with him:)  On Sunday morning before we picked up our friends, we headed out about 6 am to the Haleakala National Park.  We drove from sea level up to 10,000 feet to the Summit.  It was amazing and completely the opposite of what you would think of when someone says "Hawaii."  


This is looking westward from the park.  Here you can see the narrowest part of the island.  We stayed on the other side of the cloud-covered mountain you see in the distance.  The western portion of the island is very dry.


The Summit looking into a crater.  It made us think of the moon.

This crater was formed by water erosion.
