Hiking Maui, The Valley Isle

Rating:
Summary: Didn't do it for me
Review: Hiking Maui is one of the best treasures that you can have if you enjoy hiking and the adventures that it has in store. My husband and I love this book. I am born and raised here and my husband has lived here for 4 years and we have found this book to be very resourceful. Many hikes take you to spectacular waterfalls and most of all, to breathtaking scenery. A suggestion: If you have the time stay in some of the cabins at the national parks!

Summary: Didn't do it for me
Review: Sorry, but this book just didn't do it for me. I just got back from 3 weeks on Maui, staying with locals. Most of the available trails are indeed in the book, but the maps and descriptions are sometimes wrong or simply out of date. With today's technology, there's no excuse for hand-drawn "not to scale" maps. For the next revision, I'd suggest that the author go through the entire book, synchronize it with reality and bring it up to the same quality level as other guide books. If you're interested in some hikes that aren't in this book, see the hiking section of the excellent guidebook "Maui Revealed".
