Kapalua, HI: Nakalele Blowhole

· September 19, 2013 ·

From the roadside parking area, the hike is only a quarter mile one way, but plan to spend some time here because the scene is spectacular. The short trail descends a gully to a viewpoint where most people stop to look then turn back. Continue down the faint trail into the "acid warzone," an area of deeply pocked and utterly mangled lava rocks, under constant assault by the wind and sea. A terraced area offers good viewing of the blowhole from a safe distance.

· May 23, 2019 ·

But assuming the weather is on your side, here is a two-week itinerary that showcases the very best that the South Island has to offer.

From the Field: East

· September 5, 2012 ·

Table Rock Trail, Table Rock SP, SC Scott Stegenga, Pickens, SC Scan a raptor flyway on this 6.8-mile out-and-back to a 3,124-foot Appalachian foothills summit. The route climbs 2,000 feet through a shady oak-hickory forest, but it saves the best for last, Stegenga says: Just beyond the summit, the trail ends at a granite gneiss shelf with a 180-degree vista into North Carolina. Watch here at midday for swirling kettles of migrating broad-winged hawks (peaking the third week of September) and a pair of resident peregrine falcons on the cliffs to the north.

Three miles from Hana, on the west side of Maui, Wai'anapanapa State Park is a coastal playground; a rugged volcanic shoreline, blowholes shooting fountains of seawater into the sky, arches of lava rock stretching into the waves, caves and lava tubes for exploring, or just the novelty of kicking back on a pristine Hawaiian black sand beach.
