• Hoapili Trail: Walk amid ancient history on this King’s Trail that traverses the harsh lava expanse of South Maui and visit several rugged beaches.

• Waihou Spring Trail: This short upcountry hike offers a cool jaunt through a rainforest with a side hike to a natural spring in a deep gorge.

• Wai’ānapanapa State Park: Along the Road to Hāna, this excellent state park offers a long hike along a sculpted lava coastline with a wealth of ancient history.

• Kīpahulu District of Haleakalā National Park: This detached portion of the Park is along the Road to Hāna and offers a rainforest hike to a 400’ waterfall.
