To ensure public safety, Polipoli Trail, Haleakala Ridge Trail, and Plum Trail will be closed from September 19 - October 10 for maintenance. These trails will reopen as soon as the maintenance project is completed.
Trail begins at the old Civilian Conservation Corp. area and climbs gradually across the mountain through a planted forest of ash, redwood, sugi, and other species until it joins the Haleakala Ridge Trail. Numerous plum trees bearing fruit during the summer can be found along the trail. Wear bright clothing. Be aware that you may encounter hunters who are hunting off the trail. Stay on trail.
The Plum, Redwood, Haleakalā Ridge and Polipoli Trails form a loop trail worth hiking (5.3 miles).
