The massive crater at the top of the 10,000 foot Haleakala Volcano is frequently covered by cloud.  The clouds roll in and roll out and can quickly reduce visibility to next to nothing.

It is a good idea to check the weather conditions on the mountain before you leave for the mountain.  Many people like to arrive at the summit in the early morning when the sky is normally clear and one can enjoy the night sky and the sunrise.
