Waihee Ridge Trail and the Iao Valley

Yesterday, we ventured across the island to the West Maui Mountains for a 5 mile day hike.  The hike begins at 1,000 ft. above sea level and ends at 2,563 ft.  The Iao Valley rivals anything we have hiked in the Western U.S., and could easily be a national park.  At one point, we were hiking along a ridge line less than 5 feet wide with extremely steep drop offs on both sides.  There are waterfalls dropping into the valley in every direction.








 
This hike will definitely be a repeat in the future.
