Haleakala National Park surrounds the world’s largest dormant volcano, spanning more than 30,000 acres. Haleakala was formed approximately 1 million years ago through the building up of layers of flowing lava and has been a sacred location for Polynesian people who settled on the island 400-650 A.D. It remains sacred to the Hawaiian people to this day. Pass ancient sacred locations, and witness breathtaking views from the safety and comfort of your vehicle.

Ranger Station of the Park is at 7,000 ft where a convenient rest stop is taken.
