Sunrise above Haleakala, a dormant volcano in Maui

As Morgan Freeman says in The Bucket List, you should "witness something majestic" before you die. Well I can say with 100% certainty that this was my moment. Matt and I took a sunrise tour of Haleakala, a dormant volcano in Maui and it was well worth the 2:30 am departure and 2 hour drive up to the top. The 30 mile bike ride down was also an awesome experience. This picture cannot begin to do justice to the view from above, but hopefully it has inspired someone to cherish the beauty nature has to offer.
(Notice that the sun is rising above a sheet of clouds that we are standing above. We were actually standing at 10,000 feet above sea level.)
