I did ride down it!!! I tried to ride up, but had to walk. My husband the mountain goat road all the way up. I loved that Valley. Did you know it was used as hiding place for those suspected of having leprosy (can't remember the "new" name for it) who would otherwise have been forced into the colony? If you have the time, pick up "Shark Dialogues" by Kiana Davenport. It's a great read about Hawaii.

I can't wait to go again. We have friends in the Pahoa area. Your pictures might just be the kick I need to get over there.
