  • The Sliding Sands Trail in Haleakala National Park. This is one of the best national park hikes I have done in a long time and a hike I will never forget. The hike is one way and it requires you to hitchhike from the end point to the starting point at the summit. The trail is 12 miles and it is tough as it is long and has a good uphill climb at the end. Here is all the information on the hike and let me know what you think in the comments.
    ** Hiked in October 2022**

    7:55 The Silver plants are called Silversword. They are exceptionally rare and only grow around the summits of the volcanoes on Maui and Big Island.

    You guys are amazing for not only pushing through that trek, but also sharing it and all its beauty with us along the way. Thank you!

    Having lived on Maui, doing that trail in one day is a speedtrip, and sitting in the silence is a tremendous experience. We camped overnight in the cabins. My favorite thing was to do parts of it more often, with time to hang out see the Neenees and tune into that changing weather.
    Glad you both did it and let us all see it again.

    There are many more plants in Haleakalā crater and on the Keonehe'ehe'e trail, including silversword. This trail is never "not worth doing"! Arm in arm, snuggling together under a big umbrella - memorable. Great video, Mahalo 🌺

    This is one of my favorite places on Maui. We stay in the cabin overnight (sometimes 2 nights) for the ultimate experience. Love, love it there. You capture its beauty nicely through your lens :)

    this is so awesome. I live on Oahu, been to Maui many times. Didn't realize that we can hike the crater. definitely next time Im at Haleakala and see people hitchhiking I will stop. I would have never known, awesome video. Thanks for sharing.

    Absolutely stunning. It looks like you are walking on the moon &/ Mars.
    Mother nature is so beauitiful & can thrive (plant life) anywhere
    My husband & I really appreciate the episodes that encompass family members. Sadly in these days we don't see much family orirented channels.
    Safe travels Josh & kind regards from Adelaide, South Australia.

    Great video with epic sights. Such drastic changes in topography too. Enjoyed seeing you and Amy hiking together.
    The plant is called the silversword and only grows in Hawaii. One of the colleges is called the Silverswords!

    @iasc1022 Год назад +1

    My boyfriend and I actually did this hike a couple years ago! We did choose the option to hike down into the crater, and had otherworldly views going down. We went pretty far out, all the way to the end of Lauulu Trail, and it ended up being over 18 miles total. Very long day and we ran out of water at the end.. this option seems much more enjoyable. Loved your video!

    Great timing on this Josh. My wife and I are booked for Hawaii in May and this is our #1 planned activity. I was planning on getting 2 cars (because...you know....hitchhiking? thats totally not us) but now I'm thinking its safe to do that

    • @ThroughMyLens
      @ThroughMyLens  Год назад +3

      Yea, I have never hitchhiked before but we figured we would give it a try. It worked well for us and the other couple we saw on the trail but I had no idea how it would go when I went into it haha

    • @PatrickRU1992

    What a treat to see Josh and Amy on a serious hike. Even though it was tough, I’m sure you enjoyed it. Thanks for posting about it cuz I don’t think my knees could do it. But one day I want to go to Maui so I will at least try to give a hitchhiker a lift while I’m there.

    just visit it in last july , the best trip ever !
    QUESTION: @ 1:10 , the little restaurant you went for breakfast ,
    do you remember the name of it ?
    i went there to before going up Haleakalā and can remember, the owners was so nice !
    btw, i made the trail in revers and back from the parking lot as you did to get to the camp , soooo hard ! ;)

  • @lienepowell8308
    @lienepowell8308 Год назад +1

    I’m so jealous! We were there in May and did only the first 1.5 miles of the trail before turning back as we were hiking with our 5 and 6 year old boys. The altitude was just too much for them (and my husband). Thank you for letting me see the parts we missed! Did altitude not affect you at all?

    I’ve seen the sunrise and quite frankly it’s not worth getting up at 3am to drive up there in the dark just to freeze 🥶. The second time we were in Maui we went up to the crater around 10am and really enjoyed hiking part of the trail

    Except for those couple of areas where the trail has deliberately and obviously been cleared of rocks, all the rocks and loose stones make this trail an invitation for getting a sprained or twisted ankle. Happy that both of you came away unscathed.
