Haleakalā holds stories of ancient and modern Hawaiian culture, protects the bond between the land and its people, and shelters endangered species, some found nowhere else. Its stark volcanic landscapes, sub-tropical rain forest, and backcountry offer an unforgettable setting, while conditions vary sharply across the park, from highs of 80°F in Kīpahulu to lows of 30°F at the summit. Clouds and rain can quickly replace sunshine, weather in the high-elevation summit and wilderness areas is highly unpredictable and changes often, and temperatures drop about 3°F for every 1,000 foot rise in elevation.
