When To Visit
Best Time To Visit
MONTH BY MONTHApril–September for the clearest summit weather. Sunrise always requires a reservation and is cold, often near freezing.
Sunrise slots sell out — consider sunset or stargazing instead.
The summit is cold, windy and sometimes cloaked in cloud in any month. The Kīpahulu/Hāna side is rainy, especially November–March, and flash floods can close the Pools of ʻOheʻo.
General patterns — conditions vary by year. Check current NPS alerts and road status before you go.
