Walks in Haleakalā National Park

Hard

6.8 km

3 hrs

Sliding Sands Trail

Hike down into the huge crater (11 km across) of an inactive volcano. The crater is mostly eroded. There are two gaps in the sides of the crater walls that water has eroded through over the centuries. The interior of the crater is sandy and desolate and contains many cinder cones (sand hills formed from smaller volcanic activity).
