On a clear day you will see beautiful mountain views of Lana段 City, Maunelei Gulch, Hookio Ridge, Koloiki Ridge, and the islands of Maui and Moloka段. You will hike through some of the most dense forests areas on Lana段... sometimes hip-deep in luxurious ferns... sometimes with towering Eucalyptus tree canopies overhead. The hike covers about 4.25 miles and lasts about 2 1/2 hours to 3 hours. Some of the most scenic portions of the Munro Trail will be traversed on the last half of the hike, looping back to end at the Koele Golf Pro Shop. This is a hike for experienced hikers who want to see the heart of Lana段痴 amazing mountain landscapes.
