Embark On An Epic 7.3-Mile Trail In Hawaii That Features Waterfalls And Jaw-Dropping Views
Are you ready for what might be one of the most challenging hikes of your life? Hawaii boasts some of the most gorgeous hiking trails in the world. One, however, certainly could compete for the most spectacular and beautiful hike of all. If you’re up for a real challenge that’s rewarded with unbelievable views, plan a journey along the Ka’au Crater Trail in Hawaii.
Ka'au Crater Trail in Oahu's Roundtop Forest Reserve isn't for the faint of heart and should, by all accounts, only be attempted by seasoned hikers.
The 7.3-mile trail has earned its rating of difficult, partially because you'll have to climb a waterfall. That can be challenging, slippery, and dangerous.
Look for the handwritten sign, near a set of mailboxes, that announces the start of the trail. If you follow the handwritten signs along the way, you should have an easy time staying on the trail.
Experienced hikers recommend wearing extremely sturdy hiking boots, at a minimum. However, to make the climbs (such as up the waterfall), you might also want to wear spikes.
