Keoneheʻeheʻe (Sliding Sands) Trail

Descend from the summit into the crater's cinder-cone moonscape.

<p>The trail drops from 9,800 feet into the crater floor's painted cinder desert. Go as far as feels right and turn around — remember every downhill step must be climbed back at altitude. Even a mile or two in delivers the otherworldly views.</p>
Time
2-6 hours depending on turnaround
