Summit Area (Mountain)

The journey to the summit of Haleakala brings you from coastal Maui, to the remote, native, high-elevation world protected by the park. Here on Maui's highest peak you find an island in the sky where the clouds spread out below you like a second layer of ocean. Cindercones, rare plants, native birds, and hiking trails await your discovery.

Wilderness Area (Mountain)

Miles and miles of trails stretch out before the adventurous hiker. Choice range from minutes to days, and ecosystems range from arid to lush. If you come well-prepared for an overnight backpack trip you will not be disappointed - this is an area unlike any other.
Kipahulu Area (Coastal)

Layers of history are laid out before you when you visit the Kipahulu Area along Maui's eastern coast. Enjoy the lush green environment as you explore the way the that people have interacted with the land here for hundreds of years. Cool freshwater falls and pools greet the hikers who revel in the tropical vistas at every turn.
