About Haleakala National Park
Haleakala National Park protects the summit and upper slopes of the Haleakala volcano on Maui, home to one of the world's largest dormant volcanic craters. The park is famous for its spectacular sunrises, where visitors gather above the clouds to watch the sun illuminate the crater's rust-colored cinder cones. The Kipahulu District on the coast protects sacred pools and lush Hawaiian rainforest. The rare Haleakala silversword, found nowhere else on Earth, blooms once in its lifetime.
