Frommer's Best Hiking Trips in Hawaii

Frommer's Best Hiking Trips in Hawaii is intended for people for whom a good hike is an integral part of their vacation plans. It highlights the "best-of-the-best" of Hawaii's many hiking choices, focusing on accessible day hikes for a variety of abilities, plus some of the country's most popular multi-day options. The book will follow Frommer's usual highly organized approach: clear, thorough instructions on how to prepare for their trip; detailed breakdowns of the hikes themselves with easy-to-understand route instructions; star ratings and reasons to go; and lots of maps. In addition, the book will provide accommodation and dining options geared to the outdoor enthusiast; GPS directions for trailheads; and a full-color naturalist’s guide for wildlife identification.

In addition to the hikes themselves, each chapter will contain: hike index, trailhead map, 1-2 page write-up on the unique characteristics of the area, and an accommodation and dining guide.

The hikes will cover the entire region, including:

• The many great walks on Oahu, including bamboo forests, stunning waterfalls, and routes within easy reach of Honolulu
• Lava flows, ancient footpaths and Hawaii's highest summit are all on The Big Island
• Maui’s popular jungle hikes, coastal scenery and crater walks
• The rainforests and spectacular cliffs of Molokai

The diversity of Kauai, including stellar bird watching routes and the classic Canyon Trail and Na Pali Coast
