I have done the downhill a few times over the last 30 years, and it is always a thrill, especially after a great sunrise on the summit. My first two trips were back when the NPS permitted the bike groups to start from the parking lot at the top about 10,000 ft asl. Now, they have to start outside the park, at about the 7,000 foot lever, but it is still a great ride. I always looks forward to the fragrant drive through the eucalyptus groves and the hazards area where the cattle had just crossed the road, leaving behind their fragrant momentos.
Each day in Maui is Paradise Found. 28 more days, and I will be there!
