This part of the park is accessed by Hawaii state road 378.The main feature of this part of the park is undoubtedly the famous Haleakal Crater. It is huge: 6.99 miles (11.25 km) across, 2.0 mi (3.2 km) wide, and some 2,600 ft (790 m) deep. The interior of the crater is dotted by numerous volcanic features, including large cinder cones.
