Haleakala National Park protects a sacred Hawaiian landscape in a remote part of Maui that encompasses a towering extinct volcano (the Summit District) as well as the Kipahulu Coastal District.

A highlight of any visit to Maui is witnessing the sunrise or sunset from the crater rim 10,000 feet above sea level.

You can go hiking along 30 miles of trails in the rugged Summit District (including overnight back-country hiking adventures) and along 3 miles of lush forested trails in the Coastal District.

Other activities include ranger-led programs that introduce you to the rare plants and animals of the park (some of which occur nowhere else on Earth), camping, wildlife watching and star gazing.
