Hiking on Maui, Hawaii - The Waihee Ridge Trail 

I remember hiking that trail back in 2000 - one of the most memorable hikes I've done - drank a full 2 gallons on our way to Eke crater, (end of the Waihee trail is about the halfway point - but the trail is seldom travelled and hard to follow after that) I refilled a third gallon with a filter while we slogged thru calf deep marsh for a good mile, barely keeping my boots on with each step as the ground attempted to swallow them up (it was dry or I was told it would have been been thigh deep). Got to see lots of green sword plants in bloom for the only time in my life and some of the most unique terrain I've ever traversed (the plateau reminded me of Alaskan Tundra as the water logged soil prevents plants from growing very tall) I had just started on my third gallon of water when I started getting muscle cramps with every step (electrolyte imbalance most likely) - started laughing at the ludicrous nature of the situation and wound up with a stitch in my side from laughing. Soon as we could see Eke crater we turned back (had planned to go to the summit about 4 miles further). Hope you get to hike From the summit of Haleakala out Kaupo Gap to the ocean while you are there - an amazing 20 miles of gorgeous vistas, if your knees are up to the constant downhill jarring over the 10,000 ft descent. So grateful for the many experiences God allowed while living in the islands for 38 years - and Maui, in particular is an amazing Island where the beauty of God's creation is on full display! Thanks for sharing this video and bringing to mind some wonderful memories from days gone by - much appreciated 🙂 -Tim

Thanks for bringing us along! Any other upcoming hikes you're interested in? Have you hiked the Tahoe Rim Trail? Stay stoked and blessed Rev!!

You are quite an inspiration Rev.

Thanks for giving us the opportunity to go along with you to this beautiful place. Glad you got to hike there!

Beautiful views of the trail, forests, and ocean, Rev. Hope you're having a glorious day. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you for sharing such gorgeous views. And Happy Anniversary to you and your wife. I wish she would have let you film her more. But I’m sure you both had an amazing trip together.

How lucky and blessed to see such beauty

Thanks. Nice! Probably the only way I will get to see Hawaii. 😊

Really enjoyed this. Looked very steep but so beautiful. Great drone footage as well!

Cant even imagine how much more gorgeous it would be to actually be there in person and walking on the trail, Absolutely loving the drone shots and like I have mentioned before really appreciate all the effort you put into making these videos for all of us to enjoy

TU for sharing ... gave me a great sense of the walk with blue vistas, green hills, whisps of clouds - onwaord Rev!

Wow, what an awesome trail. The drone shots are amazing.

Beautiful. Thanks.

Nice video, Rev. One of your best. The tasteful drone work and lack of dialogue really enhanced the overall effect.

Beautiful views. Great shots with the drone

I'm putting The Waihee Trail in my Next Trip Maui folder. Great video!

Hey, Hiking Rev, good to see you back on trail. And, aloha from two fellow PCT hikers, and ex-Trail Angels from San Diego, who are now retired and living here on Maui. Welcome and enjoy your time here!

My fear of heights had me struggling on that trail at times. But also one of my favorite memories from Maui.

Let’s get it! By the way, that shirt looks very familiar! Loving the drone shots!

Beautiful video Rev! ✌️J.D.

Nice.

You’re amazing! Looks like a lot of uphill climbing- and then filming it too is a lot of work! Beautiful views! Love the drone footage. Good for you hiking while on your Maui vacation!

Great hike with constant views all around! Nice place for a convertible. Thanks for sharing! If you or others are on the Big Island, there’s a National Park and hike around the lava flows that’s pretty wild at night with flashlights and glowing lava. Park is open when flows are safe.

Beautiful hike.

This must have been a tough one uphill. I can see you made some friends down the trail. Keep on hiking Rev! Cheers, Henk

A lot smoother and tamer than the PCT! Beautiful though.

Hey Rev, nice to see you! Greetings from Germany

Hey Rev! I had no idea you were on Maui! We could have hiked together! Glad to see you out and about. If you ever make it to Maui again, be sure to give me a heads up! Aloha!

I don't remember seeing you use a drone before. The drone footage is nice and adds to your overall great content.

YOU lucky dog you good to see ya REV loving it big guy you Rock bra

I have never been to Hawaii, but my sister has many times and has mentioned many hikes. I will have to ask her if she has done this one. 👍

How. Far was the hike?

Is this a difficult hike? I’ll be there next month and want to take my family, but didn’t know if it would be too much for my 70 year old dad. He’s in good shape.

Are mountain bikes banned on this trail?

Seems like a lot of up.
