It’s MAUI, baby (and everything just feels different on the islands).The size of the crater it’s massive - at 7 miles across, 2 miles wide, and close to 3,000 feet deep!.The lack of light and environmental pollution.The summit’s high elevation (at a whopping 10,023 feet)!.Well worth the early morning wake up call.Īnd why’s it just so spectacular? A few things actually! Sunrise above the clouds from an active volcano. Haleakala is home to Maui’s highest peak of course it’s the perfect place to watch the sunrise on the island! And plus, Haleakala literally means “House of the Sun”, so what better place to watch the sunrise than at Haleakala! But a 10,023 foot volcano?! What the actual F?! Yup, that’s over here in Maui. I’m sure palm trees swaying in the wind, juicy pineapples, and snorkeling with sea turtles come to mind. Sunsets are more my jam, unless it means watching the sun rise above the clouds from a volcano in Maui.Ĭlose your eyes and think of Maui. Yes, I wake up early when absolutely necessary (say, to catch an early morning flight to Maui or Oahu ), but I typically choose not to wake up at the crack of dawn.
