? @johnkernickphotography Maui's west coast. Maui is the third largest in the Hawaiian islands, it's diverse landscapes are the result of a unique combination of geology, topography, and climate. Haleakalā, the larger, younger volcano on Maui rises to more than 10,000 feet (3,000 m) above sea level, and measures 5 miles (8.0 km) from seafloor to summit, making it one of the world's tallest mountains. It's an amazing place to visit, even if only for 36 hours ? . . . . #Maui #hawaii #beachlife #johnkernickphotography
