Surreal is a word that comes to mind when I remember Haleakala. The stark contrast to the tropical paradise below is breathtaking. The dark, rusty colors of the crater were fascinating. I was amazed by the mass of this impressive mountain and how it always loomed over you as you were driving around it.

When I went to Haleakala, I was in Paradise. It was the best trip I have ever had. It is filled with fun packed activities that keep you moving every second. I cannot tell you how much I love Haleakala National Park.
