Overview

The desolate ridge in the wilderness of uninhabited Lana'i is a favorite place for hikers and explorers. The nearest patch of civilization is the Lodge At Koele, which offers deaily hikes from 11a-1:30p for $15 per person. There are two reasons that people choose to make the three-hour hike to the summit. First is to see the lush foliage and graceful pine trees that distinguish this place from the surrounding area. Second is to enjoy breathtaking views of Maunalei Valley, which is rich in legend and natural beauty. The hike starts behind the Lodge and travels part of the way alongside the well-trafficked Munro Trail.
