Hiking
Getting up early to see the sunrise is particularly worthwhile. Important: Book your reservation on the National Park website well in advance and buy the Tri-Park Pass or the US Annual Pass in advance.

Hiking
Haleakala Observatory, located at an altitude of 3,050 meters, is owned by the University of Hawaii Institute of Astronomy. While its use is primarily scientific, the observatory is also made available to the Air Force for military purposes.
This solar observatory has already enabled the discovery of new asteroids, comets and many other celestial objects.
