Haleakalā National Park covers a broad area around the Haleakalā volcano, known for its massive crater, high-altitude psu winds and desert-alpine flora. Visitors come to see the subalpine conditions, pālila (silversword) plants, and to watch the sunrise from above the clouds. The park includes the summit area, surrounding slopes, and parts of the Kipahulu coastal region with waterfalls and tidal pools. Activities range from hik­ing and animal-watching to photography and stargazing — the high, dry summit is designated a dark sky site.
