If you choose to do the loop, the elevation gain is 2,000' and 5.3 miles. Going past the summit of Kuli'ou'ou to do the loop requires hiking on the KST (Ko'olau Summit Trail), which has a steep drop off on one side. For this section, you must be comfortable with heights and be able to do a small amount of technical scrambling in sections.
