This book was very disappointing to me. The copyright date is 2010 but the information is out of date or missing. We saw trailheads just off the highway with no information for them in the book, like the Lahaina Pali Trail. So much more information, or more up to date information, should have been given. The information for the Olowalu Ptetroglyphs is very out of date as far as finding the trail, following the trail, and how to view them. [Chez Paul Restaurant doesn't exist anymore] Nakele Blowhole is a sight of 2 blowholes. You could miss the best one with these directions. There is also another parking spot to start your hike that actually gives you a view of where you're going. This book needs to reworked.

4.0 out of 5 stars "easy" and perfectly simplistic, January 24, 2012

This is a small little book, which I was glad because it fits well in a pocket or daypack. These trails are infact EASY, as suggested. The details are thorough and helpful with maps for each. I would have preferred more detail but was not feelings a lack.
