How NPS runs Haleakalā sunrise

The park controls the pass. We just watch it for you.

~150 cars per morning

Gate is open 3–7 a.m. HST. ID must match the reservation name.

Two release windows

NPS drops passes at 7:00 a.m. HST — 60 days out, then again 2 days before. Both sell out fast.

Cancellations reopen anytime

People cancel up until the morning of. Those slots go back on sale immediately on recreation.gov.
