Hiking on Maui, Hawaii - The Waihee Ridge Trail

Recently I had the privilege to travel to Hawaii and spend 10 eventful days on the beautiful island of Maui. While on the island, I hiked the Waihee Ridge Trail in the West Maui Natural Area Reserve. This video chronicles that hike. Thank you for coming along with me. I hope you enjoy.

Cant even imagine how much more gorgeous it would be to actually be there in person and walking on the trail, Absolutely loving the drone shots and like I have mentioned before really appreciate all the effort you put into making these videos for all of us to enjoy

[@TheHikingRev]

You’re quite welcome. It was absolutely beautiful. 😁

[@MarmaladeOutdoors]

Really enjoyed this. Looked very steep but so beautiful. Great drone footage as well!

[@TheHikingRev]

Thanks my friend. It was very steep. (hence the loud breathing😂).

[@rrichardson53]

You’re amazing! Looks like a lot of uphill climbing- and then filming it too is a lot of work! Beautiful views! Love the drone footage. Good for you hiking while on your Maui vacation!

[@TheHikingRev]

Thanks Rebecca. It was 1,779 ft of vertical elevation over 4.2 miles. Very difficult. 😁

[@rrichardson53]

@@TheHikingRev wow!!!! 😳

[@jaysmallen3067]

Thanks for bringing us along! Any other upcoming hikes you're interested in? Have you hiked the Tahoe Rim Trail? Stay stoked and blessed Rev!!

[@TheHikingRev]

You’re welcome Jay. I’d love to do the TRT. I’m going to Ireland at the end of this month to do the Ireland Way. 620 miles, 1,000 kilometers. 😁

[@jaysmallen3067]

@@TheHikingRev very nice. I'm excited for you getting back to the Ireland Way! Enjoy it as much as humanly possible Rev!

Wow, what an awesome trail. The drone shots are amazing.

[@TheHikingRev]

Thanks. I definitely enjoyed it. 😁

[@hedkase1313]

Beautiful views. Great shots with the drone

Thanks. Maui is a beautiful place.😁

TU for sharing ... gave me a great sense of the walk with blue vistas, green hills, whisps of clouds - onwaord Rev!

I remember hiking that trail back in 2000 - one of the most memorable hikes I've done - drank a full 2 gallons on our way to Eke crater, (end of the Waihee trail is about the halfway point - but the trail is seldom travelled and hard to follow after that) I refilled a third gallon with a filter while we slogged thru calf deep marsh for a good mile, barely keeping my boots on with each step as the ground attempted to swallow them up (it was dry or I was told it would have been been thigh deep). Got to see lots of green sword plants in bloom for the only time in my life and some of the most unique terrain I've ever traversed (the plateau reminded me of Alaskan Tundra as the water logged soil prevents plants from growing very tall) I had just started on my third gallon of water when I started getting muscle cramps with every step (electrolyte imbalance most likely) - started laughing at the ludicrous nature of the situation and wound up with a stitch in my side from laughing. Soon as we could see Eke crater we turned back (had planned to go to the summit about 4 miles further). Hope you get to hike From the summit of Haleakala out Kaupo Gap to the ocean while you are there - an amazing 20 miles of gorgeous vistas, if your knees are up to the constant downhill jarring over the 10,000 ft descent. So grateful for the many experiences God allowed while living in the islands for 38 years - and Maui, in particular is an amazing Island where the beauty of God's creation is on full display! Thanks for sharing this video and bringing to mind some wonderful memories from days gone by - much appreciated 🙂 -Tim

[@TheHikingRev]

You’re quite welcome, Tim. The Haleakala trip is on my next to do list.😁

[@stillinthestream]

Very nicely done, really gives a sense of the place, and the hike.

[@TheHikingRev]

Thank you. I’m glad you enjoyed it. 😁

[@judithpearson3968]

Beautiful views of the trail, forests, and ocean, Rev. Hope you're having a glorious day. Thanks for sharing.

You’re welcome Judith. It was beautiful. 😁

How lucky and blessed to see such beauty

[@TheHikingRev]

Yes. Most definitely.😁

[@gerrylo9359]

Beautiful. Thanks.

You’re welcome Gerry. 😁

[@TheNypenfan]

My fear of heights had me struggling on that trail at times. But also one of my favorite memories from Maui.

[@TheHikingRev]

Definitely a nail biter. 😁

[@dayhikedave]

Thanks. Nice! Probably the only way I will get to see Hawaii. 😊

[@TheHikingRev]

You’re welcome. I’m more than thankful to be able to take you along. 😁

[@bkf238]

Thank you for sharing such gorgeous views. And Happy Anniversary to you and your wife. I wish she would have let you film her more. But I’m sure you both had an amazing trip together.

[@TheHikingRev]

Thanks. I did sneak in a few stealth shots of her. But don’t tell her.😂

[@larrybevins2007]

Hey, Hiking Rev, good to see you back on trail. And, aloha from two fellow PCT hikers, and ex-Trail Angels from San Diego, who are now retired and living here on Maui. Welcome and enjoy your time here!

[@TheHikingRev]

Thanks. You are very fortunate. Enjoy. 😁

[@larrybevins2007]

@@TheHikingRev Prior to here we lived in San Diego for 25 years, then Pasadena for 2 years. Retired and moved here a little over 3 years ago. During that time we've hiked all of the PCT in Oregon (Ashland to the Columbia River) and done a 2 week Alaskan cruise. In September we'll be on a 3-week hiking and fly fishing trip in Utah, Wyoming, and Montana. Stay safe. Larry (Commander) and Cathy (Shiver) Bevins

[@martgoodman1726]

Nice video, Rev. One of your best. The tasteful drone work and lack of dialogue really enhanced the overall effect.

[@TheHikingRev]

Thanks. One of my “silent hikes.” (except for dialog at the first.) 😁

[@jcnippert]

I'm really impressed with your drone work! Thank you for sharing all this. You bless my heart, Rev!

[@TheHikingRev]

You’re welcome. You’re very kind. 😁

Thanks, Gerry. It’s a great trail and hike.😁

You are quite an inspiration Rev.

Thank you so much. You’re very kind.😁

[@MikeRyder-ml2mb]

Great hike with constant views all around! Nice place for a convertible. Thanks for sharing! If you or others are on the Big Island, there’s a National Park and hike around the lava flows that’s pretty wild at night with flashlights and glowing lava. Park is open when flows are safe.

[@TheHikingRev]

Thanks Mike. I think I might do that next time. 😁

This must have been a tough one uphill. I can see you made some friends down the trail. Keep on hiking Rev! Cheers, Henk

[@TheHikingRev]

Thanks Henk. 1,779 vertical feet elevation in 4.2 miles. Yes extremely uphill.😁

[@heyrobin]

Hey Rev! I had no idea you were on Maui! We could have hiked together! Glad to see you out and about. If you ever make it to Maui again, be sure to give me a heads up! Aloha!

[@TheHikingRev]

Wow…I wish I’d known. Definitely next time. 😁

[@miketroutman7365]

A lot smoother and tamer than the PCT! Beautiful though.

[@TheHikingRev]

I don’t know. Definitely a lot shorter. 😁

[@jacksponsler9341]

I don't remember seeing you use a drone before. The drone footage is nice and adds to your overall great content.

Is this a difficult hike? I’ll be there next month and want to take my family, but didn’t know if it would be too much for my 70 year old dad. He’s in good shape.

[@TheHikingRev]

Yes. It is a somewhat difficult hike. But many people do it. It’s very steep uphill and the trail is very slippery. just take your time and you’ll be OK.😁

[@jfuite]

Are mountain bikes banned on this trail?

[@TheHikingRev]

I don’t know but I never saw any. 😁

@@johnpowell1875 I almost stopped watching when I heard the he he nonsense. I thought about sharing some pro tips about the hike, but I prefer to keep my secrets private from the masses. Something I am willing to share...look up Healing Humanity. Makes me nervous seeing overweight and out-of-shape folks on steep slippery trails.
