What an amazing hike! It's a bit painful trying to find the trail head, but totally worth the efforts. We started from Lahaina side early in the morning since a lot of reviews suggested that. I am glad we did that since the hot blaring sun gets unbearable on this un-shaded trail pretty fast. This trail shoots straight up from the get-go. It is not for the faint of the heart. However, the views are amazing even if you only stay on the trail for 15 minutes.

The directions to the trail head is easier from airport: Turn right to the first patch of trees once you pass the tunnel, From Lahaina, turn left as soon as you pass a big rocky wall with mesh on your left(preventing falling rocks). About 20 minutes from either airport or Lahaina.

A short walk from the highway leads you down to these saltwater pools formed from lava rock. We had beautiful sunny weather which encouraged us to take a dip. Then we walked back along the rocks toward the ocean and spotted several whales on the horizon spouting and making their way.

What a great trail, I parked on the Lahaina side. I came from Wailuku (by the airport) so once I passed the tunnel it is a little on the right. Look for a patch of trees and the trailhead is there. You will get to park under the trees so once you return the car isn't hot at all. I hiked up 2.5 miles, just past the windmills, then hiked back the same trail. Views of the ocean the whole time, and whales playing.

In 2.5 miles the trail gained 1800 feet from the parking lot. The day I hiked it was dry so sure footing the whole time. If hiked after a rain just use little more caution due to slippery footing on rocks. I say take half a day small snack and sit and watch the whales. Don't forget the camera the views are stunning even if it isn't whale season.

This is a great trail with great views. Hiking from the lower lot it is a 6 mile round trip. From this lower lot it is a 2302 elevation gain. This trail is not for a beginner but if you enjoy hiking this is a must hike.

Super fun hike, amazing views and steep ridges all around. I definitely recommend this hike; it's not too difficult but be ready to break a sweat in the beginning!

This hike is tough! It's a fair amount of elevation, coming from Sea level, and it goes as high as you can. It is possible to reach the windmills, but it is private property, so I didn't get too close. You DO have to cut thru the tall grass to get there. Good thing There are no snakes on Maui.

If you go all the way up past the windmills, you'll eventually get to a lake up on the mountain (you can see it on Google Maps). If this is your plan, you'll want to either go at night on a full moon, or plan a camping trip because to hike it in and out during one long day will be unbearably hot and miserable. I didn't pass anyone on this hike. It was just me and my friend the whole time.

This hike up the ridge has no ponds of bridges. These people are referring to the Waihee Valley hike (also known as Swinging Bridges). The entrace to this hike is STEEP but once you get past the initial climb, it's not very strenuous. The hike can be pretty long but it's a lot of fun the whole way up, with plenty of spots for photos and relaxing. This is the first hike I EVER went on, way back when I was in middle school, and it was an excellent experience.
