    Hiking

    The Halemau'u Trail leads from the shrubland at the rim of the Haleakalā crater down a steep switchback into the volcanic wonderland. Hikers can choose between a 2.2 mile out-and-back that leads to the crater rim, a 7.5 mile out-and-back to Hōlua Cabin in the crater, or the strenuous 12.5 mile Silversword Loop to Bottomless Pit and Pele's Pot.
