Oh it's pretty flat for the most part. I want to say it's easy enough that even someone on wheelchair is doable

@@gsellona mahalo!

Your welcome, hope you enjoy your trip!

Thank you for id’ing it! ❤️

Aw thank you so much for your kind words 🤙🏻. It’s so easy to find viral things to do on the island these days but people forget to show how to respect and appreciate places in a bit deeper level. Hawaii is special and so I’m glad to share my pov with you all ❤️

Nice have so much fun! You’re gonna love it. And yes! Do you volunteer with P&P?

@@thehiescapade I do! I grow native plants for Tyrone (and occasionally give talks/ join in on volunteer days). Maybe we'll run into each other sometime. Thanks again for such an informative video!

@@daniellefrohlich1251 Aw nice! Actually I do remember you speaking awhile back (I believe you spoke about what makes a species invasive). Hope to bump into you again at P&P! 😊 Have a fun trip this weekend!

@@thehiescapade Yes- that was me! You have a good memory. :) Full disclosure- my husband accidentally left a message using my account- I didn't go this time, but he had a great trip and it sounds like the weather was perfect. Sounds like it was brutal but totally worth it. I love that you include interesting biology info about Haleakala in addition to useful logistical information- this is well done!

@@MrKidslick That’s awesome! Mahalo for you and your peer’s restoration efforts in Ka’ala! 🤙🏻

@@user-lj1gz5vd5s agreed BI is my favorite

hehe during that time I want to say it was maybe in the late 50s. It was rainy, pretty windy and just being the bog in the clouds was pretty cold

Thanks! It’s not too bad to get to the shelter with gear, quite short

@@thehiescapade clearly you don't know my wife....🤣😂🤣. We Glamp, 🤯

@@jamesconway608 😂

That’s a good option too! We were lucky then

Not really, just the 2 boulders I think is the sketchiest. It’s a different type of hike and so it’s hard to compare to another Hawaii hike. Just know it’s steep. If you’ve done most hikes around the island specifically long ridge ones, you should be ok

@@thehiescapade I appreciate the info! The only "long" ones I've done are kuliouou and wiliwilinui. The hardest incline I've done was olomana to the first. Haven't done any trails to KST though

@@NormalPersonActivities I see. It’s much longer than Kuliouou and Wiliwilinui since Ka’ala can take 6-8 hours total. Olomana to the first peak is like an hour of steepness and so that can be similar to the beginning of Ka’ala after you finish the paved road and work your way up to 3 poles

@@thehiescapadeAwesome. Thanks for taking the time to answer my questions!

Hii! We just parked along the street and left our car overnight

It’s about 15 minutes ish. There are 2 dips between the helipad and shelter

Thanks! I was so surprised I got it haha

haha I saw your story and was like ehhh I know the hotel 😂 Enjoy the rest of your stay there!

Aw thank you for your kind words! I hope you get to camp Haleakala soon it’s definitely something to experience. Not much backpacking trails in Oahu since there is not really accesible paths unless you want to just camp along the Ko’olau summit trail but even that isn’t like a designated trail for backpacking. We camped along Manana ridge but only short kine to the shelter, I have that video coming up in the next few weeks. Manana ridge or maybe Aiea ridge are good to go camp along and pretty lenghy to do if you wanna test your cardio and strength with it. But I honestly think hiking Haleakaka crater is easier than hiking Oahu’s ridge trails.

@@thehiescapade Mahaloz. See you guys on the trail.

They exist here but unfortunately they weren’t along the trail. I’ve seen a bunch when my friends and I did volunteer work at the designated volunteer sites here earlier this year

Mahalo Scott!

Thanks Will! yep, very easy to get lost

lol you would think it’s from here right since it’s tropical looking. It’s origin is from Brazil and South America

@@thehiescapade I did not know that. Thanks for sharing.

Ohh I totally didn’t know that since we always called it Papali ridge lol. Thanks Troy

Hii! It took us about 6 hours. It can probably be done faster since we stopped to take pictures/video lol. Have fun! Definitely something to do when in Oregon

Glad it was helpful!

I agree

Sorry to hear, I hope you're able to get to still do it one day! Way better when it's drier conditions but be sure to bring lots of water especially in this summer heat if you plan on doing it soon. Yes the Waialua route you'll need special access since it's going through private property and also the trail isn't well maintained. My friends and I did it awhile back and it was an all day thing, I'd rate this route difficult though since there's not really a trail and it's super lengthy.

Unfortunately not really. You can try parking on the residential street just outside the street going in the valley, but that is a pretty long walk. And also Waianae can be sketchy. In the valley there is no signal so best bet is if you can have someone drop you off/pick you up when you start/end the hike. You can park your car by the trailhead but you'll take your chances.

thank you! hope you enjoy the trail and stay safe!

Rain is pretty normal on Oahu in general, especially on the northern shore. Typically it rains frequently during the winter season and is very sunny during the summer, however compared to previous summers, this year has seen much more rain.

@@rileyange so it rains in the summer and winter now due to the climate change?

@@minc4970 it always rains, that’s just apart of Hawaii! However, it usually comes in short spurts and feels light and refreshing. It rarely pours rain all day, especially during the summer. Certain parts of the island see more rain compared to others, but I don’t know if I would contribute this summer’s rain to climate change necessarily. We are currently in an El Nino period, meaning the islands should be experiencing more intense dry spells and storms. However, this summer has been pretty docile so far, so perhaps you are right in assuming climate change is affecting Oahu’s weather- just in a positive way this time lol! But in general, the weather here is just hard to predict due to the various, constantly changing, conditions surrounding the island.

Hey Min, agreed with @rileyange - the rain can occur any time. Around December through March is our winter season known for a wetter and colder conditions (nothing like mainland cool temps though lol).

Mahalo piha!

Yeah it's sad the state doesn't really give much funding toward trail recreation and just to the conversation world.
