C2C on San Jacinto, then S2C on Haleakala, Maui

[Bivouac]

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.

Post Pics!
