Review:

"Hiking Maui is probably Smith's best because it captures the warm aloha he has for the Valley Isle, his Hawaii home for many years. Hiking Maui is packed with information on the many great hikes on Maui, but also with other inside information that only a longtime Hawaii resident and frequent hiker would know." -- John Hollan, Hawaii Magazine

"Hiking Maui-The Valley Isle is recommended. There are an enormous number of sight seeing suggestions. It is hard to imagine a more comprehensive yet easy to use guide book." -- Southern Sierran - Sierra Club newspaper
