Published by the NPS as "challenging" and 7mi roundtrip, we parked one truck at the trail head above Pago Pago and then drove to the end of the trail in Vatia in another truck. We would recommend you do the same, as that way you get the steep uphill climb out of the way first and have a more leisurely hike downhill from the summit on an old 4 wheel drive road. Nicely graded trail, lots of ladders with rope (secured with fairly new steel cables), saw many coconut crabs (up on the ridge line!) and an awesome view from the top. Took us nearly 4hrs to complete the trek. It was definitely challenging, but as it is the best hike on Tutuila, it is worth it!

I took my 15 year old son on this hike it's definitely worth the trip the greenery is beautiful and has amazing views. It totally looks like a scene outta Jurassic park! There wasn't a lot of wildlife and the hike was mild to moderate it took about an hour and half each way.

Its a fairly easy climb through rain forest along a 4 wheel drive track.The mountain is thick with lush rain forest all the way to the top with some great views along the way.When we got to the top we were surrounded by cloud and could not take advantage of ( what im told ) the magnificent view, however the atmosphere was fantastic.Just like Jurrasic Park.Well worth the climb if you dont mind a little mud and excercise.

We were in Samoa doing research and we had a free day. Deciding we were tiredof the water we decided to do the 6 mile hike from Vatia back to Pago Pago along the ridge of Mt. Alava.We started I'm Vatia. Be forewarned that if you start there and it's a Sunday you should probably all permission first since the villagers value their privacy on Sundays. I'd you come from the Pago side you'll reach a fork that'll tell you the old Vatia trail is closed on Sundays and to go a different route. Anyways, the hike itself was awesome. The views, the greenery, the "visitors' book" at the pavilion are all wonderful. The ladders and ropes make it even more interesting. I'd start by taking a cab over to Vatia and starting from there. I think that's easier than hiking up old logging roads. Happy hiking.

A beautiful hike along the ridge trail to the top of Mt. Alava. Lots of beautiful songbirds, wonderful views of the Pacific Ocean on one side and Pago Pago harbor on the other. Sweeping views from the top of the trail, and lots of tree cover and (welcome) shade on most of the hike. The trail is well-maintained, but be sure to take the longer hike that starts closer to town, rather than the steeper climb involving all the stairs.

Go on a fine day, probably not worth doing if there's rain. The walk isn't too hard but take plenty of water and the views are great from the top. Get a bus to the track start, it's a steep, hot walk up the road otherwise. The national park visitor centre in town was helpful too before the walk

The weather that whole week was not too great. But the view from the hotel was breathtaking.

It is a breath taking panoramic view of the villages down below. You can also continue your journey and take a hike into the National Park Mt. Alava Scenic View just adjacent to this point.
