2.0 out of 5 stars adequate at best, March 1, 2000

This review is from: Day Hikes Maui (Paperback)

most of the hikes listed are widely found in many other sources. thse that were unique, had vague descriptions and were very difficult to find (i.e. bad descrptions to trailheads). all in all, a dissappointment.

This review is from: Day Hikes on Maui, 3rd (Paperback)

The review prior to this sums up my thoughts pretty well, though I did enjoy having a book devoted just to the trails I was hiking. Looking back however, I'm not sure it was THAT great because half the trails are useless for most people.Overall the book lacks new substance and/or locations worth the average visitor's time on Maui.

For anyone who really wants to get off the beaten path and hike, I'd suggest Maui Revealed, Maui Mile By Mile, and Maui Trailblazer in that order. All three are excellent guides which include hiking amongst many other great things.
