Description
If you're looking for a truly challenging trail running experience with unparalleled views, the Lolo Vista Point – Nuʻalolo Trail loop from Kokee State Park delivers. This difficult 7.1-mile (11.5 km) jogging route packs in 1673 feet (510 metres) of elevation gain, taking around 1 hour and 40 minutes for experienced trail runners. It's a serious undertaking best suited for those with exceptional fitness and a love for rugged, technical terrain.
What to expect on Lolo Vista Point – Nuʻalolo Trail loop from Kokee State Park
Expect a journey through diverse ecosystems, from cooler Hawaiian jungle forests filled with Eucalyptus and Guava trees to warmer scrubland. The trail offers breathtaking panoramic views of the Na Pali Coast and the deep blue Pacific Ocean, especially from Lolo Vista at the end of the Nuʻalolo Trail. However, be prepared for extremely varied and strenuous terrain; the Nuʻalolo Trail features a steep 1,400-foot drop in its first mile, and the Nuʻalolo Cliffs Trail can be overgrown and narrow, skirting the precipitous Nuʻalolo Valley. The "Volcanic Ridge Crossing" is particularly sketchy with significant drop-offs. This route is definitely for experienced trail runners who thrive on technical challenges and aren't afraid of mud, roots, and steep grades.
Planning your visit
Given the extreme difficulty and varied conditions, jogging this entire loop is not advisable for most. If you do attempt it, carry plenty of water as there are no sources on the trail, and be prepared for sun exposure. Trekking poles are highly recommended for stability on steep and slippery sections. Always check current trail conditions before you go, especially after rain, as the Nuʻalolo Cliffs Trail can be overgrown and the entire route becomes very muddy. Cell service is limited, so download your maps beforehand.
