Haleakalā National Park extends from the 10,023 foot summit of Haleakalā down the southeast flank of the mountain to the Kīpahulu coast near Hana. These two sections of the park are not directly connected by road, but both can be reached from Kahului. There are no gas stations within the park.

Hawaii Snow Storms

This park is a mountain in Hawaii above the clouds where it can snow, seriously? I didn’t even know it existed until I got here. When you think of a national park in Hawaii you think of Volcano national park and lava meeting the big warm waves of the Pacific Ocean. Haleakala deserves just as much recognition and its dues. To be clear, it did not snow when when we were there and Im breaking my own rules by posting some other fellas picture but in this case I will make an exception because it is too cool not too.

There is a massive telescope sitting right on top of the mountain. It is home to one of the largest cameras on earth and many new discoveries have been made here.
