The road to the summit is open again. 🌤️

As Haleakalā National Park continues recovery following Tropical Storm Lala, visitors can once again access the Summit District.

If you’re planning a visit, drive with care, watch for changing weather and road conditions, and keep an eye out for wildlife along the way.

Haleakalā is more than the summit. 🌿🌊

The Kīpahulu District offers a very different view of Haleakalā National Park, where lush landscapes meet the rugged East Maui coastline.

With the Summit District currently closed for storm recovery, it’s a good reminder that the park stretches from sea to summit, protecting an incredible range of ecosystems, landscapes, and cultural resources along the way.

The Kīpahulu District and campground are currently open. Before visiting, check nps.gov/hale for the latest park conditions and alerts.

A little Haleakalā for your feed. 💚

While Haleakalā National Park remains closed, National Park Service teams are assessing storm impacts and beginning the work needed to safely welcome visitors back.

For now, we can give them the space and time they need to care for the park and enjoy a little of Haleakalā’s beauty from afar.

We look forward to the day when these trails, views, and special places can be safely experienced again.

Until then, please continue to check nps.gov/hale for official updates on park conditions and reopening.

Same place. Different day. ☀️🌫️

One moment, blue skies. The next, Haleakalā can disappear into the clouds.

Weather in the Summit District can change quickly, and conditions at 10,000 feet may be very different from what you left behind at sea level.

When you visit, come prepared for changing conditions, bring layers, and don’t let a little cloud cover surprise you. Sometimes it’s all part of the experience.

Which Haleakalā have you experienced: ☀️ or 🌫️?

Today, our hearts are with Lahaina.

Three years after the August 8 wildfires, we honor the people, families, and community of Lahaina and the strength that continues to carry Maui forward.

Today is a day to remember, to reflect, and to recognize the many hands and hearts that continue to care for one another and for this place we all call home.

With aloha for Lahaina, today and always. ❤️

Look closer. 🔍

At first glance, the ʻāhinahina, or Haleakalā silversword, might seem perfectly at home among the rock and cinder of the summit. Look a little closer, and you’ll see just how remarkable it is.

Its dense, silvery leaves are specially adapted to the intense sunlight, cold temperatures, and limited moisture of this high-elevation environment.

It’s a reminder that some of Haleakalā’s most extraordinary details aren’t found in the sweeping views. They’re right at your feet.

When visiting, admire ʻāhinahina from a distance and stay on designated trails to help protect these unique native plants.

For 110 years, this extraordinary place has been protected as part of our national park system.

Since August 1, 1916, generations of park staff, Native Hawaiian practitioners, researchers, volunteers, partners, and visitors have helped care for Haleakalā’s remarkable landscapes, native species, and cultural resources. Their shared stewardship has ensured that this special place continues to inspire and connect people from around the world.

As we mark 110 years, we also look ahead. The work of protecting Haleakalā is ongoing, and every act of stewardship helps preserve its natural and cultural treasures for future generations.

Mahalo to everyone who has played a role in caring for Haleakalā, past and present.

Some of the most important work is easy to overlook.

Carefully clearing invasive cane grass from around archaeological stone walls helps protect these cultural sites while making space for the landscape’s history to remain visible.

This summer, members of the Youth Conservation Corps are spending eight weeks working alongside National Park Service staff in Kīpahulu, contributing to the ongoing care of Haleakalā National Park through projects like this one.

Stewardship isn’t finished in a day. It’s built through consistent care, season after season.

Haleakalā Conservancy is proud to support the Youth Conservation Corps and the next generation of stewards.

🗣️A friendly reminder for everyone visiting Haleakalā National Park.🌿

When you’re driving through the park, you’re traveling through the home of some of Hawaiʻi’s rarest wildlife. Endangered nēnē (Hawaiian geese) and ʻuaʻu (Hawaiian petrels) may be found near roadways, parking areas, and along the roads leading into the park.

Please drive at posted speed limits, stay alert, and be prepared to slow down or stop for wildlife. Every careful choice behind the wheel helps protect these remarkable species and the unique ecosystems they call home.

Being a good steward starts with simple actions. Mahalo for helping protect Haleakalā’s native wildlife.
