This out and back route provides you some great views of Kahului, inbound airplanes, and the east side of Maui (in the distance). There is minimal shade, but on breezy days the wind does bring some relief from the heat. Just bring plenty of water! Hiking in the morning is probably the most pleasant experience.

You have to pick your path carefully at times
About a mile into the hike it becomes more flat and less bumpy
The trail never completely smooths out however
The reddish brown volcanic dirt probably gets slick when it rains
You walk for a short distance on what appears to be an access road for the wind turbines
