Super nice up here, but don't let the warm temperatures at the foot of the mountain fool you. It's always colder at the top, so don't forget your jacket

The Visitor Center is open daily, with outside accessible restrooms available 24 hours daily. Inside, there are panoramic orientation tables of the landscape and knowledgeable staff that can provide information on the history of Haleakalā, which means house of the sun, and its importance to the indigenous peoples. The view from here is stunning, and if you plan early, this is an excellent spot to watch the sunrise, which has been a visitor attraction since the late 1800s.
