SUMMARY:Overnight Service Trip to Paliku - back country - February 2026
DESCRIPTION:Trip Leader TBD   contact andy@fhnp.org or matt @fhnp.org \n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Palikū Patrol Cabin Trip\nLevel: Very Difficult – 21+ miles totalLocation: Palikū\, Haleakalā Crater (East End) \nThis backcountry backpacking trip is both strenuous and unforgettable\, totaling over 21 miles across varied\, rustic terrain and steep elevation changes. Volunteers spend three nights in the Palikū Patrol Cabin\, located at the lush\, windward edge of Haleakalā Crater\, where native ʻōhiʻa forests meet the dramatic cliffs (pali) of Palikū. \nThis is a rare opportunity to sleep surrounded by native ʻōhiʻa trees and wake to the songs of native Hawaiian forest birds\, including the rare honeycreepers found in high elevation zones of Hawaiʻi. At night\, the crater offers some of the best stargazing on Earth\, with clear views of the Milky Way and thousands of visible stars. \nDay hikes for volunteer work and exploration may span 8+ miles\, often including a rugged day trek down a portion of the Kaupō Gap Trail. Service projects may include invasive weed removal (such as bull thistle)\, native seed collection\, trail clearing\, and cabin maintenance. \nEvenings are spent in community\, sharing meals (organized by the trip leader; small fee applies) and reflecting on the day’s work. You’ll carry in your own backpacking gear\, including a sleeping bag\, clothing for any weather\, and food for your own breakfast\, lunch\, and snacks. \nThis trip offers a meaningful way to give back while experiencing your park in places few ever reach. You’ll gain a deeper connection to the land and learn about the plants\, birds\, and ecosystems unique to Haleakalā and Hawaiʻi. \nTrip Notes: \n\nYou must be in excellent physical condition and comfortable hiking long distances at elevation.\nAll participants must be 18+.\nPrior trip experience required.\nAdvance signup is required; space is limited.
