Haleakala

I flew to Maui a couple of weeks ago on business. On the return flight, the pilot gave us a special tour of Haleakala.  First, the ridge above Ulupalakua Ranch as we circled around the back side gaining altitude.

The summit from the back side of the mountain.

A better view from above.
The back side of the mountain looking toward Hana.
It was a nice treat on the way home!

How fun to see all of that from the air. When we flew into Iguaçu Falls many years ago, the pilot buzzed the falls for us. Those kinds of deviations are great.
