today we went biking down haleakala, maui's main volcano. the peak stands at over 10,000 feet - well above most of the cloud layers.
the view on the way down was amazing - the scenery and microclimates changed dramatically as we continued down the road. in fact it would go from sunshine to rain and back in a matter of minutes. unlike the volcano on the big island, haleakala does not erupt very often and when it does erupt, it is more of a slow trickle.
we ended our journey in paia, a small hippie town near the ocean. in fact, willie nelson is known to frequent one of the local joints! paia is hard to miss with its many brightly colored buildings.
