| Publisher Description: This book will take you where few people go--to active volcanoes, lush valleys, cascading waterfalls, secluded beaches, and windswept ridges and sea cliffs. Written in the same style and format as the successful The Hikers Guide to O'ahu, this detailed, fully illustrated guide highlights ten of the best backpacking trips on the Big Island, Kaua'i, Maui, and O'ahu. Even those with years of experience hiking in the islands will find The Backpackers Guide full of useful information. Additional notes on the plants, birds, geology, history, and legends of each area make this volume Hawai'i's most complete backpacking guide. |
