In terms of physical challenges, be aware that elevation sickness might hinder your Haleakala climb. You should not worry, help is just an emergency stop away, or get a medical specialist’s approval prior to joining this climb, especially taking your own family.
[Accessibility] Haleakala Summit State Park is an awe-inspiringly vast open space without any structures around the summit aside from an initial visitor center around the Haleakala Visitor Pavilion, the Summit Restrooms; however, visitors from the Maalaea Maui area by the Road from the summit drive are free for a beautiful 30 minute drive ride to reach a parking booth, after arriving at each visitor’s entrance ticket booth parking. Please let us clarify, if planning to view sunrise from above, you plan your arrival carefully, please arrive in parking lot areas, not outside the park since there’s minimal parking slots. Please always follow public guidelines.

Enjoy an hour-long or two-day bike ride – Haleakala National – which you plan your bicycle tour ride while you pedal down Halemau’, or if walking, take scenic hiking trails; there awaits you.
