The Last Sunrise...

This is the last sunrise of 2011. These pictures were taken at the top of The Stairway to Heaven, a physically straining 3,922 step hike in Hawaii that makes any stair-climbing machine a walk in the park. My family and friends crawled/climbed three hours to reach the top and two of those hours were spent without a trail in the pitch black. To say the least, I was completely blind-sided on the nature of this hike, but it was well worth it despite needing a manicure after! mwah!
