This moderate four-mile hike is a good Crater sampler - hike through three very different environments. Experience Haleakala's vastness, grandeur and majesty. The crater's energy is intense and ethereal, and it's absolutely silent. Enjoy views that stretch for more than a hundred miles in all directions. Hike two miles at 8,000-foot elevation on a lava rock trail lined with rare endemic plant species. Then hike 2 more miles at the 10,000-foot summit where huge cinder cones dominate the expansive, desert-like scenery.
