Moderate Hike into Haleakalā's Crater
Free
Description
Enter the park's Wilderness on the Keoneheʻeheʻe (Sliding Sands) Trail and take a moderate out-and-back hike partway down the windswept cinder slope. This is among the most popular hikes in the park thanks to its unbeatable crater views.
Experienced hikers can "thru" hike the crater from Keoneheʻeheʻe (Sliding Sands) Trailhead, across the crater floor, and out to Halemauʻu Trailhead. This hike is extremely strenuous and should only be undertaken by individuals who are equipped for a wilderness environment.
Start your day at the top of Haleakalā. With an advance sunrise reservation, visitors can await the dawn from any of four lookouts leading to the summit.
All visitors to park must pay the park entrance fee at the entrance gate or present a valid park pass. Find our more about Fees and Passes. In addition to the entrance fee at the gate, advance sunrise reservations are required to enter the park between 3 am and 7 am. Reservations can be made on Recreation.gov. The reservation fee is $1.
