Beschreibung

With over 500 recorded waterfalls, Hawaii is one of the states with the most waterfalls in the country. Many of these falls empty into swimmable pools, and the hot, tropical weather makes the payoff of a cool waterfall at the end of a hike particularly alluring. Hiking Waterfalls Hawai'i takes you through state and national parks, forests, monuments and wilderness areas, and from popular city parks to the most remote and secluded corners of the area to view the most spectacular waterfalls. Look inside to find: Hikes suited to every ability - Mile-by-mile directional cues- Difficulty ratings, trail contacts, fees/permits, and best hiking seasons - GPS location for each trailhead
