| Matt Wordeman, NPS Volunteer | | Cinder cones are one feature you can experience in the Summit Area of the park. |
 |
Summit Area (Mountain)
Visit the summit to experience volcanic landscapes, high-elevation ecosystems and unparalleled skywatching. Spend a few hours driving to the highest point on Maui to take in the sights, enjoy a dayhike through native Hawaiian ecosytems, or join a Park Ranger for a talk or demonstration to get to know your National Park.

Kipahulu Area (Coastal)
A visit to Kipahulu is a chance to see how Hawaiians have interacted with the land for hundreds of years. The lush rainforest and cool freshwater stream and pools create a tropical setting for an afternoon of hiking, while the coastal views are just right for a photographer looking for just the right shot.

Wilderness Area (Mountain)
The Haleakala Wilderness is a place to get away and experience nature on its own terms. Whether you choose a day-hike, or plan a three-night backpack trip, your experience here will be unlike anywhere else you have been. Cindercones tower overhead, tiny native plants nestle in the rocky landscape, native birds greet you at your campground, and the night sky will surely amaze you.

The three Wilderness Cabins at Haleakala National Park, built of redwood in the 1930s by the CCC, are a popular lodging option for overnight hikers - but must be reserved in advance!
