4.0 out of 5 stars Good guide to Haleakala & Hana, October 5, 2005

We purchased this guide as one of many for planning our trip to Maui earlier this year. This guide was very detailed on the Haleakala portion and decent enough for the Road to Hana, pointing out many of the highlights of the trip. The photography in the guide was outstanding, the colors very brilliant - just wish they'd have put more photos on specific places than random shots from around Maui. Many of the graphics were also a nice touch, especially for Haleakala.

Apparently the author used to work for HVNP, so he knows his stuff and does a good job detailing the geology of the volcano, if you're into that sort of thing - we like history. This guide is worth the few bucks to add it to your travel collection.

A short pamphlet. Although colorful, much of the information can be retrieved on the websites for Maui without cost.

Concise, easy to use, fairly accurate. Milepost suggestions were good. Mileage was off by 0.1 -0.5 miles at times. Worth $5 - 10 if you don't plan on spending all day at either venue.
