Waihee Ridge Trail

Waihee Ridge Trail is one of the fascinating hikes here on Maui. It takes about two and half hours to reach the top of the trail with a beautiful view of Kahului Bay and the towns of Wailuku and Kahului. Fred Silvereis and I took a hike on Saturday afternoon. It has been over a year since I've been on this trail. It was a beautiful cloudy day when we began hiking up in the mountains seeing lots of waterfalls and water in the stream below the West Maui Montains. In the background is the famous Haleakala Mountains rising above the clouds at 10,023 feet above sea level. The West Maui Mountains and Haleakala Mountains act like a wind tunnel when airplanes approach the Kahului airport. It gets a little shaky when planes land at the airport with the winds howling in from the ocean. The Valley Isle - Maui gets its name from the valley between the West Maui Mountains and Haleakala. I would recommend this hike when visitors come over to Maui.
