Sunrise

My 3rd and final adventure in Maui was a sunrise bike tour down the side of a volcano. The van was to pick me up at 3:00am for the 1.5 hour trek to the volcano. Our group was only 5 people, and once we were all accounted for we went back to the main office for bike instruction and breakfast. After about an hour we got on the road. The sunrise is self explanatory. I won't bore you with all my inner reflections, but every morning at the exact moment of the sunrise, one of the park rangers preforms a sun worshipping chant from an historic Polynesian people. It was hauntingly beautiful.

When my eyes started adjusting to the dark the volcanic rock began to take on a "Lost World" feel. The low lying clouds only added to the eeriness.
TA DA!
