About Haleakalā National Park (Cabin Permits)

Deep within the mystical Haleakalā crater, three remote backcountry cabins—Hōlua, Palikū, and Kapalaoa—await adventurous souls willing to trek across otherworldly volcanic terrain. These rustic shelters, accessible only by challenging trails that wind through a landscape more reminiscent of Mars than Earth, offer intrepid hikers a rare chance to sleep inside one of the world's most spectacular volcanic depressions. As darkness falls, the cabins become prime viewing stations for some of the clearest, most breathtaking stargazing on the planet, with the Milky Way stretching across the sky in brilliant detail.
