Before attempting to hike along Mount Kaʻala Trail, please be aware that this might be one of the toughest hikes on the island. The hike includes almost 3,600 feet in altitude and there are many sections where you have to scramble over muddy boulders with the help of attached ropes (gloves might be useful). But if you're up for the challenge, you will love the views along your way, so get ready for a great adventure!
