"One of the best spots on Maui. Easy hike on the main trail with a steep hike to get down to caves and river (when there's water). Good foraging for false turkey tails and other fungi."
"A super cool hike that has amazing views all along the way! There’s parts where you can even swim in the creek. This is a busy place and a lot of tourists, so my advice would be to BE AWARE of the people around you and don’t take up all the space."
"We enjoyed this trail because it was something different from the other views on the island - pine trees. The trail was well marked and about 1.5 miles in total. There was a part of the trail that branched off to water falling out of lava channels that was more difficult but the views were worth the extra climb."
"Nice beginning trail. Very short can do the loop within a 1 hour or so. Great for hike to go on with kids. Trail very clear."
"Cool spot. The managed forest is really interesting and surreal to hike through. The hike is a fairly flat mile (or so) loop with a spur trail down to the spring. The first half of the spur trail is pretty tame; the second half down into the ravine is a bit steep and was slick in places from the rain a couple of days ago. No one bit it, but we were careful going down. Others have mentioned the hike out is a bit steep. It’s about 200-300 feet elevation gain over a quarter mile. You’ll be fine unless you’re really out of shape. The area around the spring is really cool and worth the trip down. The lower part of the spring spur trail is lined with maidenhair fern and the spring itself drips from multiple places out of a hundred foot basalt cliff. There are lava tubes in the spring cliff wall, one of which is easily accessible. The others are not for the faint of heart and it’s a long way from help if you misstep climbing the wet, mossy rocks. Overall, a short hike with a cool destination and worth the trip up the mountain. It’s at 3,700 feet and is a good place to take a break from the heat of the day."
