Munro Trail

Spectacular Views of Molokai and Maui

Description

This trail, which starts at the Lanai cemetery behind the Lodge at Koele, is a beautiful but long, tough haul if you decide to hike the whole thing: estimates of the length vary from 10-13 miles. It is technically a jeep trail that can be tackled with a four-wheel drive vehicle, but you are likely to have better luck--and enjoy the scenery more--if you hike it or bike it. The trail twists up over the inland peaks of the island, providing spectacular views. An easy option is to just hike a section of the trail. The Koloiki Ridge section, about 2.5 miles, gives you great views of neighboring Molokai and Maui, and if you wish you can continue on to Lanaihale, the highest point on the island at 3,370 feet about sea level.
