Aloha, Tim. Mauna Ulu is about two to three miles each way, depending on how much you explore the mountain itself. If you just go to the summit and back, I would say just over two miles each way from the parking area. I highly recommend exploring, though, since there are a LOT of interesting features, mainly on the makai side of the summit. There is a "frozen" river of red lava that is so amazing. It looks like it is still hot. Use EXTREME caution near the lip of the crater, since there are cracks and visible evidence of recent rockslides into the pit.
Cheers,
