In this video, Wild and Growing teams up with our close friends to hike the elusive and very challenging Weeping Wall Hike. Although this hike is not very long, only about 6 miles round trip, or steep about 2,000 FT of elevation, it is challenging for a number of reasons. First, the trail is only accessible by a high clearance off-roading vehicle or a treacherous hike which can approximately double the mileage for your overall hike. Second, the trail is not well marked and you MUST go with an experienced hiker who’s done it before many times. There are guides who you can hire to bring you or if you are like us you have some experienced friends! Lastly, you must have Tabis (a specialized shoe for sea fishing which is designed to prevent slipping in water and on rocks) or any felt bottom water shoe because they grip wet rocks better than hiking boots or sneakers. This is necessary because just about the whole hike is sloshing your way up a river.
The above might have sounded very intimidating and tiring for you, luckily we filmed our experience so you can still witness this spectacular hike! This hike is not accessible for most people so we hope this video will help you experience the beauty of Mount Waialeale and the magnificent weeping wall without getting in danger. You can also experience this amazing site by taking a helicopter tour of the island. Many tours view Mt Waialeale and we saw many helicopters on our hike. This is a much safer option for anyone who is not an extremely experienced hiker with a guide.
PLEASE DO NOT ATTEMPT THIS HIKE ALONE OR WITHOUT THE GUIDE OF AN EXPERIENCED HIKER. DOING SO IS INCREDIBLY DANGEROUS
