Hiking in Maui Hawaii Upcountry Forest!

Hiking in Up-Country Maui!


Have you ever considered hiking the mountains of Haleakala Crater? There are amazing trails in Kula Poli Poli Park. You can also venture over to Olinda side of the mountain off of Pihilio Rd. You can hike Maui’s wilderness trails with out lions, tigers, and bears. A lot of visitors never even new that Maui has an amazing eco-system, that has an ever changing micro climates as you change elevations and geographic area’s.

I work in Wailea, Maui, but I play on the north shore and upcountry. Haleakala offers pristine valleys and lush windward slopes for your hiking pleasure. On your hikes as you climb the mountain terrain, you will see Java Plum trees, different varieties of sandalwood trees, Ohia trees, paper bark trees, and Eucalyptus varieties include, rainbow gum and rainbow bark. Some times you might even come across an Acacia Koa, which the Hawaiians made their canoes from.

While Maui has some of the best beaches in the world, a little un-known fact is Maui has some awesome forest and hiking trails. There is National Park, and State Land that is available for your enjoyment. Just make sure you leave it in the condition when you came. The menuhune’s are watching.

The diversity of plants and trees in the forest will amaze you. As the sun changes direction, the light that filters through the forest sets off the colors in brilliant display of light and colors. Hawaii possesses some of the world’s rarest plants, insects, and birds in the world. There is a booked called Hiking Maui that maps out dozens of hiking trails.

Maui is the second largest Hawaiian island. With thousand of acres of magnificent natural beauty. I would recommend one of many Maui eco-hikes for safety and just pure enjoyment. So get out there and discover Maui, and many of its hidden treasure.
