Was it gnarly in some places to where you had to slow down a lot, or was it pretty easy to run through? My family and I are going to Kapalua in February.
A:
Yes, some areas involve picking your way through lava boulders and people, so you can’t cruise through the whole thing.
Tell me about the parts of the hike that are “along cliff edges.” How wide of a path are we talking about in these areas? How high are the cliffs? Thanks!
A:
There is no danger of being close to a cliff as long as you stay on trail.

There is no charge to walk along the trail. It is very easy path - mostly dirt with some boardwalk areas and a few steps. We had no problem with finding parking but it is limited - mostly at the side of the road with a small parking lot that had a few spaces when we visited. The views are really nice of the ocean. There are also many nesting areas for birds along the way.
