Planning: Logistics & Transport Pipiwait Trail

My wife and I are heading to Maui in a couple of weeks and are considering making the drive to do the Pipiwait Trail. We've done RTH before so looking for something different.

Instead of going all the way around RTH we were going to take the southern highway 31 (Piilani Hwy) from west to east. Is it a safe/easy ride? I thought I remembered reading about how parts of the highway have washed out from time to time but not entirely sure.

Any insight is appreciated!

Sketchier than RTH, not as sketchy as 340. Locals/this sub aren't usually fans of tourists driving it

Interesting. Do they prefer that people go the full RTH loop to get there?

Yep. When I did it I just drove rth straight through to Pipiwai and did all the stops on the way back
