Haleakala National Park, Hawaii
Why It’s Cool: The main attraction of the park is the 10,023-foot dormant volcano, the summit of which has incredible views of the landscape and is an ideal spot for stargazing. And don't miss the Kīpahulu District with its postcard-perfect scenery. Just check the weather first.
The best way to take in the scenery while relaxing is in a hammock with a mosquito net:
Where to Camp: You've got a few choices. Kīpahulu has a drive-up campground; the Summit Area offers both drive-up and wilderness camping; and the Wilderness Area allows tent camping and cabin rentals(be sure to book in advance).
When It’s Open: Year-round, though parts of the park close during severe weather.
Cost: $20 per vehicle for a three-day pass or a $25 annual fee. Campsite space is first come, first served, and you can only stay a maximum of three nights per 30-day period. For more information, visit the park's website.
