KULA, Hawaii (AP) – Haleakala National Park will temporarily close two overlooks.
The Kalahaku and Leleiwi overlooks will be closed during repairs to shelter roofs.
Park officials say roof replacement at Kalahaku Overlook will start Monday and work is expected to be complete by Dec. 15, depending on the weather. Leleiwi Overlook will undergo work starting Dec. 16, with work scheduled to be complete by Jan. 9.
The structures were constructed in 1966 and are heavily used by park visitors to view Haleakala Crater.
Work is limited to between mid-November and early February to avoid impact to nesting Uau, or endangered Hawaii Petrel.
