450px-kalalau_trail_2004-08-22One of Hawaii’s greatest past times is getting out there and seeing all of nature’s beauty on the hiking trails available.  It can be overwhelming deciding which ones would be of most interest, fit you and your group’s physical ability and know how long each trail is. 

If you’re planning a trip to the islands and want to include hiking in your itinerary, the Na Ala Hele website is a great resource!

Just choose which island you’re interested in and a map of the island will come up with numbers that correspond to specific trails.  Mouse over the number and it will give you a summary of stats about the trail like the name, length of trail, difficulty, activity available on the trail, elevation, features and hazards.

Click on the number for more detailed info and a general map of the area.  You should always be prepared when hiking and bring survival items in your backpack.  Water, food, GPS or compass are incredibly helpful, first aid kit, flashlight and batteries.  Walking sticks come in handy when going on steep or narrow trails.
