Sasquad hikes are selected for their uniqueness, solitude, and honoring local folklore. If you are looking for the most popular hikes, there are plenty of other websites that can help with that. We are looking for the trails less traveled. If you have ideas about hikes that should be on the page, let us know! If your hike is featured, we will send you free merch.

Kalalau Trail, Kauai
Description
______________
This 11-mile one way, or 22 miles out-and-back, hike is moderate to strenuous. It is well worth the effort, as hikers will be able to walk along the rugged coastline of Kauai, pass through rainforest, and have breathtaking views of the ocean. Hikers will also pass through five valleys along the way before ending at, the sometimes secluded, Kalalau Beach. Hikers need a permit to enter Hā’ena State Park, where the hike starts. Read more.
Keonehe‘ehe‘e (aka Sliding Sands) Trail, Haleakalā National Park
Description
______________
For an up-close experience of the Haleakalā Crater, this 17.6-mile, strenuous, out-and-back hike is our choice. Hikers often describe it as “otherworldly” or “like Mars” due to the brilliant colors of the sand and rock around the trial. Read more.
