Hawaii Day 6

On Monday, our last full day on Hawaii, we woke up at 2:30 am to  go to the top of a dormant volcano named Haleakala to watch the sunrise. We drove 2.5 hours to get to the top of the volcano and then stood in the complete darkness waiting for the sun to rise. It was about 35 degrees out and very windy on top of the volcano. It was pretty miserable waiting for the sun to rise, but once it rose, it was all worth it.

After we watched the sun rise, we went to a lookout tower on the top of the volcano to see the view. Then we headed to a beach called Big Beach. We swam in the ocean for a while, and then we stumbled across a nude beach. That was a little awkward, and not very pretty. Haha. We headed back to the hotel to take a nap since we were up so early, and then we headed down to our beach by our hotel. We watched the sunset for the last time on Maui and then went for another late night walk before watching live Hawaiian music and having a few drinks.
