This is definitely worth scheduling. It doesn't take very long to hike up to and it is fairly easy/moderate, but be prepared for a lot of stairs. The view is spectacular and inspiring. The day we went it was cool and rainy but it was still great and was a good way to spent that type of day. The weather...

I deem it the Sedona of Maui. What you experience there is your personal choice. I promise you will be better for it.

We have monolith madness in Oregon with the haystack rocks, namely Cannon Beach. It seems they have it in Maui too. Drive from West or South Maui to check this bad*ss rock out. You barely have to do anything to get within picture taking distance from it. Then go down the river and go for a little dip. I guess...

This state park provides tropical views of the steep mountains. There is a $5 entrance fee, but worth it. Good place to take someone in a wheelchair to enjoy the magnificent views. There is a small trail with stairs taking you along the beautiful foliage and a stream. Well maintained grounds. Good sandals or sneakers for walking are best. Easy...

Nice place to visit and see. There isn't a lot to the attraction, so you need to understand what you're going to see. But hey, you're in Hawaii, on vacation. I'm going back this summer and plan to go back there.

Sue and I decided to take a trip to the Iao Valley from Kaanapali Beach. It's not to long of a drive 30 minutes or so. Drive back in off the main highway is really beautiful. High mountains on both sides. There is a small admission fee/parking fee to get in. Stay over to the left for some great views....

Iao Valley is a beautiful area of Maui, and is only a 15 minute drive from Kihei. There is free admission to the park, but you have to pay for parking. There is a lot of walking up stairs and some trails, but there were a lot of people I could see with some mobility issues, and they did ok....
