There are a never-ending variety of natural wonders in this enormous park, including the eerie floor of the crater and the magical Kipahulu Valley, much of which is closed to tourists. A seven-day pass is USD5 or USD10 per vehicle. Explore Haleakala with an experienced guide or stick with the established trails. Weather conditions can change drastically at the summit. Bring food, water and proper clothing for every member of the group if you plan on hiking.

If you like good day hikes
Take a crash course in vulcanology as you descend into this giant dormant volcano on this exotic hike! Leave your car at the Halemauu trailhead on the way up the crater. Then take a second car or hitchhike to the very top of the crater at the Visitor Center parking lot. There you can start a great hike into the crater on Keoneheehee Trail (also called Sliding Sands Trail). It's a strenuous descent of 2,800 feet (853m) in the first 4 miles (6.4km) to the valley floor and then you're on Mars. It's a totally different world down there than what most people can appreciate from the overlooks. Then you can turn left to catch the Halemauu Trail, through the crater and back up the other (smaller but still 1,000 feet) side of the crater to your car. You'll never forget this.
