There are a number of good Hawaii hiking sites. But I like best the map interface used by Na Ala Hele – Hawaii Trail System & Access. (It’s far better than the one we use on besthike.)

Click on one of the numbers and you get quite a good information page on the specific trail.
It could not be simpler. Check it out for yourself:
“Na Ala Hele†is the State of Hawaii Trail and Access Program. Established in 1988 in response to public concern about the loss of public access to certain trails and the threat to historic trails from development pressure. Na Ala Hele has become increasingly engaged in trail management and regulatory issues due to both public and commercial recreational activities and emerging legal issues.
Administered by the Division of Forestry and Wildlife – Department of Land and Natural Resources
Now … Why don’t they add a list of “best hikes in Hawaii”?
