Hiking the Hawaiian Islands

Hawaii is more than high-end resorts, luaus, and hula dancers. Its vast reaches of undeveloped land-from wonderful seaside hikes to more challenging adventures along rugged mountains, past waterfalls and volcanoes, and even throughdeserts and swamps-are ripe for outdoor experiences. Describing fifteen to twenty hikes on each of the state's four main islands, this guidebook covers the best of the best, with a range of hikes to suit all tastes and hiking abilities.
