KULA, Maui — Due to impacts from the recent storm, operations and facilities within the Summit District of Haleakalā National Park remain limited. 

Haleakalā Visitor Center at 9,740 feet is currently closed. Restrooms and parking at this location remain open. Headquarters Visitor Center at 7,000 feet is open, along with restroom facilities at this location. 

Communication infrastructure within the park has been severely damaged by the storm. Cell phone service is currently unreliable. Response to emergencies within the park may be significantly delayed due to these communication issues. Visitors with existing medical conditions may wish to consider delaying their trip to the summit due to potential difficulty in contacting emergency services.
