“Am I on another planet?” I thought to myself as I gazed at the vast, majestic Haleakala mountainside. It displayed a stunning array of colors.
I wasn’t dreaming, nor was I on another planet.
I captured this shot from the top of Haleakala National Park. The views take your breath away with their one-of-a-kind beauty!
They named Haleakala National Park after the dormant (thankfully) volcano resting within its borders. It dots the area with numerous volcanic features, including large cinder cones.
If you’re in for an experience, you can access the crater via two main trails.
Hearing the legend of how the demigod Maui lassoed the sun from the sky while standing on the volcano’s summit became one of the most memorable parts of our visit. No wonder the days here lasted longer!
But joking aside, Haleakala is truly a beautiful National Park. There’s just so much to see and enjoy.
I was thrilled to be able to try to capture a tiny part of the beauty of Haleakala in this image.
