Haleakala, or “House of the Sun,” is the third largest volcano in the Hawaiian Archipelago, standing tall at an elevation of 10,023 feet. Located in Haleakala National Park on Maui, Hawaii, this dormant volcano offers a breathtaking array of landscapes and skyscapes. From its summit, visitors can marvel at the sweeping views of the island and beyond.

The summit area, capped by the cinder cone known as Pu’u’ula’ula (“red hill”), has historically been a strategic spot for Hawaiian navigators studying the stars. Today, it continues to serve as a vital site for astronomical research.

Whether it’s the mesmerizing sunrise described by Mark Twain as “the most sublime spectacle I have ever witnessed,” the vibrant sunsets, or the star-filled skies at night, Haleakala’s natural wonders captivate all who visit. The park spans over 30,000 acres, featuring diverse landscapes from red deserts to lush coastal areas, home to unique endangered species.
