Haleakala National Park

We took the winding road and endless number of switchbacks to the top of Haleakala. The summit is 10,023ft. above sea level. The temperature at the top around 3 oclock was about 52 degrees. Not really short weather. Most tourists visit Haleakala for the sunrise...but with two small children not an option. The temperature at sunrise was said to be 32 degrees or below. The inside of the crater looks like what I think Mars would...large red sand dunes. Its not often that you are above the clouds!
