Haleakala - House of the Sun

Some amazing pictures of sunrise at Haleakala Summit. This morning we got up at 2:30am and drove to Haleakala National Park. At about 5 am we arrived at Haleakala Summit. Haleakala Summit is 3055 m above sea level. Sunrise was 5:41am. It was really cold but after the sun had rised it quickly became warmer.
