Suggested Packing List

Hiking Safety: Bring water & hike in groups, stay away from ledges

Driving Safety: Follow posted speed limits, stick to roads rated for your vehicle, be prepared for switchbacks and tight turns if taking backcountry roads.

Since most of the La Sal Mountain Loop is in elevated locations, there is little risk of flash flooding. However, if you are caught in a thunderstorm, there is no safe place outdoors from lighting. Return to your car if possible and stay away from ledges.

Backcountry Safety: if you deviate from the tour onto backcountry roads, you are responsible for your own safety and may have to self-rescue. Water sources are rare and unreliable.

Wondering how much money to budget for your tour of the La Sal Mountain Loop? Shaka Guide is here to help! Outside of either stopping for a bite to eat or bringing snacks or a picnic meal along with you, there isn’t much opportunity to spend money on the tour. That said, if you plan ahead, there are several campgrounds along the route you can pay to stay at. There are also river activities like rafting along the Colorado River. But if all you want to do is take a scenic drive and stop at a few dramatic overlooks, the only budgeting you’ll need to worry about is budgeting your time.

If all you’re doing is driving, the full tour can be done in as little as 2.5 hours. An average tour on the loop should take you 3-5 hours if you make frequent stops and enjoy a few of the shorter hikes. Longer or additional hikes will extend the tour even further. Feel free to participate in as few or as many stops as you like or as your time permits.

Highly recommend this app for self guided tour Hawaii Volcano National Park. User friendly. Narrator spot on accuracy location, turns and stops. Informative which areas are scenic views and trails with the distance and mileage. Very efficient and cost effective. Tour on your own leisurely. Stop and turn as you go. No group effort here.
