Written in the same accessible style and format as the highly successful The Hikers Guide to O'ahu, this updated and expanded volume includes the best day hikes and backpacks on the Big Island, Kaua'i, Maui, and O'ahu. Each island is represented by thirteen hikes. Together they offer essential information to safely explore some of Hawai'i's most spectacular scenery.
