Hidden Hills and Jungle Above Kahana in West Maui, Hawaii
My goal here was to apply the same wilderness exploration strategy I use in the vast wilderness around Las Vegas to an entirely new and unknown area. The goal was to find the best daily trail running conditioning course that could be accessed by foot from the commercial tourist area of Kahana. The only problem was to find access to the interior above Kahana. So I set out to explore potential access points.

Route Details: “”A series of 5-10-mile daily running courses on secluded unpaved roads with spectacular views, including jungle excursions.** Click image or title above for more…
