Backpack Hawaii’s Haleakala National Park

The first day hiking from the top of Sliding Sands trail to Holua Cabin was hiked in the rain. Lucky to cabin came with a nice wood stove.

The second day, 4 of the member decide not to continues and hike out the switch back trail the next day. The remain 4 of us hike to Paliku cabin as planned. Sunny and clear.

The third is a 2800 foot drop to the park boundary from Paliku cabin down the Kapou trail. And of course back up. Sunny, clear and hot.

The fourth day is a 10 mile 2400 foot gain trip to the trail head for the switch back trail. Driving to Hana and arriving in the dark. Sunny with high clouds at times.
