Back in the Saddle at Pilopilo State Park and the Kula Forest Reserve

Star proclaimed she was ready to hit the trail again this weekend, so on Sunday afternoon we took off to explore a new area; one with few lava rock, and trails similar to those in the Blue Ridge. 

We took it easy on our first hike since the broken ankle, and she responded magnificently.   We went 2 1/4 miles through an unbelievable eucalyptus forest and got in several hundred feet of elevation work.

22 seconds of life lost by watching this video.

After a couple of miles, we broke out of the trees at 7,000 ft.
and had a great view of old cinder cones on the side of Haleakala.

Looking toward the South Shore driving down.


North and South Shores, Central Maui, and West Maui
Mountains in the distance.

Believe it or not, there is a Frisbee Golf Course to the left of Star.
We passed it on our way down from Polipoli at around 5,000 ft.
