The Halemauʻu Trail drops from the shrubland at the Haleakalā crater rim down steep switchbacks into the volcanic landscape. You can choose a 3.6-kilometer out-and-back to the rim, a 12-kilometer out-and-back to Hōlua Cabin on the crater floor, or the demanding 20-kilometer Silversword Loop past Bottomless Pit and Pele's Pot. The rim makes a good turnaround for a day hike if you want to avoid the descent. For a little more effort, Rainbow Bridge is a further viewpoint along a narrow ridge with wide views into the crater, and it requires less climbing back out. This 3.6-kilometer route follows the crater rim with panoramic views of the vast Haleakalā crater.
A 3.6 km out-and-back route from Olinda, CDP to walk, run or cycle, with 150 m of climbing.
