"My friend Oli wanted to run this loop, so I thought I go with him because I never "ran" it. The trail was very muddy as usual, but we were pushing pretty good all the way to the top where the trail got very eroded with small landslides. The crossover from Palikea to the other side of the crater is eroded and over used as well. On the way down we sped up to make sure we finish the loop under 2h, which we managed to achieve." — nandorszotak • Nov 29, 2018
"We followed the Wai'oma'o Stream up to the rim of Ka'au Crater, climbing up aound & through several waterfalls, then took the very steep, narrow, muddy ridge to the summit. We were in the clouds, so there was no view, but it was very wet. From there, we followed the ridge all the way around the crater, then took the southern ridgeline back down. I saw the most beautiful rainbow while hiking back!" — Kevin • May 31, 2015
