BEST EASY HIKE
Iao Valley
Iao Valley is one of my favorite places on Maui, and it is conveniently located just at the edge of town. It’s a really easy walk along the tourist circuit, keeping to the paved trail that winds down to the taro patches by the stream and up to the little house at the viewpoint. Most tourists seem content keeping to this path, watching locals jump off the bridge, taking pictures of the Needle and educating themselves about Hawaiian history by the informative signs. But the best part is cruising through the jungle, smelling ginger blooms, eating guava and climbing trees. And a dip in the cold stream is the ideal place to recharge your batteries. [JG]
