2 Alaskans doing Sea to Clouds, Maui 27 April...then Mnt biking down front side from summit for a great din din at Charles in Paia. Any takers? You won't read about this uphill route cause hardly anyone does it...This trail had been closed for a few years due to earthquake and my last adventure there required dealing with waist deep grass for a mile or two and then spending 3 hours in a very mysterious misty cool cloud before breaking out into the crater floor and sun. It required the same time for C2C as S2C approximately. 8:30 am to 4pm...biking downhill 33 miles in 55 min back to the beach.

Like SJ ... 10K vertical...unlike SJ, wild boar instead of snakes...ocean waiting at the bottom....and 70 - 80 degrees. Relatively steep trail for first 8 and last 2 miles with 8 light grade miles across the crater floor. There is no elevation loss in this hike.

We will be doing c 2 c here then jetting over for a S 2 C there. . .

Are you talking about the trail that goes up through Poli Poli State Park? Or the other side?

That's some fun stuff but always wet as it get's :(

Can make it to Hawaii this year, but if you want to C2C and mountain bike down the other side, I will be doing it in April

Sounds way cool. I'll trade snakes for boar anytime. I'd love exploring Hawaii:

A ton of beautiful wilderness, ample water and no snakes at all = paradise.

Hope you have a blast - I bet a couple of crazy Alaskans will appreciate that warm tropical weather even more than Californians.
