It had always been a dream of my family’s to someday go to Hawaii and it had finally happened. We had been planning the trip for over a year and before I knew it, I was already there on the gorgeous island of Maui. The first morning we were there we decided to go up to the summit of Haleakala to watch the sunrise. Haleakala is a volcano that has been dormant since 1790. The summit of Haleakala is so serene and definitely one of the most beautiful places I have ever visited. The summit of Haleakala is over 10,000 miles above seal level, and it forms over seventy-five percent of the Hawaiian island of Maui. Due to the high elevation, the air became progressively thin as I made my way up to the top of the volcano, which made it harder to breath.
