Visit Leleiwi Overlook, Haleakalā National Park, Maui, Hawaii

Add to My List Check Off

Leleiwi Overlook (8,800 feet) is located near mile marker 17.5 on Highway 378 in Haleakalā National Park, Maui, Hawaii. The rim overlook provides a superb view of the crater floor. There are only three places where you can see the Brocken Spectre phenomenon: Germany, Scotland and Maui. In this brief but captivating natural occurrence, your shadow is emblazoned on a patch of fog that’s surrounded by circular rainbows. It requires specific atmospheric conditions and the perfect angle of sunlight, but if you visit the Leleiwi Overlook in the hour just before sunset, this perch at 8,800 feet can often have the exact conditions for painting your shape on the clouds.
