Album: CCC Haleakala Crater Trails District in Haleakala National Park

Haleakala National Park

The Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) Haleakala Crater Trails District is located in Haleakala Crater in the center of Haleakala National Park. The trail system was designed by National Park Service landscape architects and constructed and/or improved by CCC enrollees between 1930 and 1941 to encourage visitor access into the crater by foot, instead of vehicle. This linear, designed landscape is significant for its association with early park planning, for its implementation by the CCC, and for its rustic-style architecture and naturalistic landscape design.
