Elevation, 10,023 feet- this is the crater of the dormant Heleakala volcanoe in Maui. The clouds you see are around the rim of the volcanoe crater and the rest of the mountain is beneath that. I sat at the edge of the crater looking down into it. Very peacful and amazing place to visit! Got to have some nerves to sit that close to the edge, no rails or anything to hold on to, just good old solid lava rock beneath your feet!
