Among all the magical places on earth, Haleakala National Park is one of the destinations that will take your breath away. It is home to the tallest peak in Maui, rising up to a staggering 10,023 feet (3,055 meters) high. The park got its name from this mountain called Haleakala, which gives its visitors the most stunning sunrises and sunsets. This place is well suited for hobbyist astronomers who come to observe the clear skies. Close to the summit of the mountain is the Haleakala Observatory, which the University of Hawaii has managed for decades while running astrophysical experiments from there. The mountain resembles a volcanic crater as a result of erosion. It has the highest number of endangered species like the nene bird. Enjoy the diversity that this park has to offer and check out the top hotels near Haleakala National Park for your next trip.
