Dawn Atop the House of the Sun [Explore]

Spectacular hues and views abound at sunrise at the apex of the Pa Ka'oao Trail at Haleakala National Park on Maui. From this vantage, looking southeast across the cloud covered Maui Channel, you can see both the tallest mountain in the world (Mauna Kea) and the largest subaerial volcano in the world (Mauna Loa). Together, these two mountains make up much of the Big Island of Hawaii and are among the five volcanoes on the island that make up Hawaiian Volcanoes National Park.

While both Haleakala and Mauna Kea are considered dormant volcanoes, Mauna Loa is still one of the world's more active volcanoes. Though, in this serene scene, you would never get a sense of the violence these locations can unleash.

Congrats on Explore!
