Welcome to Extreme Hiking Hawaii
Extreme Hiking Hawaii is a dedicated archive and resource for those who seek the most challenging, remote, and breathtaking terrain the Hawaiian Islands have to offer. This site serves as a collective journal for experienced hikers to document ascents of legendary routes, such as the Mauna Loa summit via Ainapo Trail or the rigorous Koolau Summit Traverse.
Our Purpose
The goal of this site is to preserve the history and firsthand accounts of Hawaii’s "extreme" trails. Many of the routes featured here—spanning the Big Island, Oahu, and Molokai—require advanced navigation skills, high levels of physical fitness, and an intimate understanding of Hawaii’s unique microclimates.
Through the contributions of veteran hikers, we aim to provide detailed insights into the inspiration, history, and physical demands of these epic journeys.
A Critical Safety Note
It is important to understand that this site describes activities that are inherently dangerous. The "Extreme" in our name is not hyperbole; these hikes involve risks that can result in serious injury or death.
- Personal Responsibility: Hiking is a personal choice that requires total self-reliance.
- No Liability: This site assumes absolutely no responsibility for the use of the information found here.
- Expert Only: Many of the hikes presented here are best left unattempted by the general public.
We encourage all visitors to respect the land, follow local regulations, and prioritize safety above all else.
