On Top of the World
For those making the most out of a few hours in the park, head for the moutain's peak. The crater vistas are an easy walk from the parking ares, and you can choose just how much of an adventure you want. Don't forget to make your way to the very tippy-top, Pu'u'ula'ula, which towers over the island of Maui at 10,023 feet above sea level. Marvel at the 'āhinahina (silverswords), snap some quick panoramas of the neighbor islands, and you're on your way!
Getting There
The Summit District is about an hourʻs drive from Kahului and Kihei, and an hour and a half from Lahaina, depending on traffic. Within the park, itʻs about a thirty minutes to drive from the entrance gate to the summit itself.
Know Before You Go
This district is remote, and there is no food or gas available within the park. Come prepared with snacks, plenty of water, and protection for both rain and sun. Conditions change frequnetly and can be very intense. As always, recreate responsibly.
