How Crowded Is Haleakalā National Park in November?

November runs about 0.9× Haleakalā National Park's average month, which makes it a quiet month here — roughly 7% of the park's yearly visitors come in November.

In a typical November the park sees about 71,000 recreation visits, based on National Park Service monthly counts from 1979 to 2025.

It is the quietest month of the year at Haleakalā; by contrast July, the busiest, runs about 1.1× the average — so November is the easiest time to have the place largely to yourself.

On our Best Time to Visit score November rates 70/100 ("Good"), versus the top-rated September at 58/100 — pleasant weather with noticeably thinner crowds (shoulder season).

Typical November weather, from 1991–2020 NOAA climate normals at the nearest station, averages a daytime high near 63°F and an overnight low around 47°F, with about 4.6" of precipitation.

That average of about 55°F is a comfortable range for hiking and being outdoors all day.

Because June, July and August together draw about 27% of annual visitors, choosing November instead steps outside that summer crush — the single biggest lever on how crowded the park feels.

You'll have about 11 hours of daylight in November to explore — between the 10.7-hour midwinter low and the 13.3-hour summer high.

Park-wide, 2025 drew 853,711 recreation visits, up 16.6% from 732,477 in 2024.

Across the past decade overall visitation has eased about 23.3%, so November may feel a touch quieter than it once did.
