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!

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.

Im 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?

What a treat to see Josh and Amy on a serious hike. Even though it was tough, Im sure you enjoyed it. Thanks for posting about it cuz I dont 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 Im there.

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.

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

I have to give you two credit! The stamina you had to have to do all of that walking. Did either of you have a step counter on! But now you can say youve done it. And once again I am super impressed! Thank you so much for sharing this journey!

Wow. amazing thank you for this experience. I went to top of Haleakala, walked to different areas, saw the Crater and other amazing views, than drove down. Not sure I'll do the 12 mile sliding sand trail with my bad knees.

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!

What an incredible hike! It was amazing to watch you two trek this. We were only able to visit the summit on our trip there, so it's nice to see inside the crater close up. Great video!

I was there decades ago, way more people now. I did not see anyone on the sliding sands trail then. I enjoy how both of you are always positive and thoughtful.

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.

Don't dis hiking back on the same trail. The view and the lighting is different. Guaranteed you will see stuff you didn't see on the way in.

Great video! I guess with the new rules on filming in National Parks, these kinds of videos will be hard to make in the future?
