Any suggestions on great backpacking trails in Maui?

Ny asked:


We are looking for a 2-3 day backpacking trail in Maui but can’t seem to find anything that doesn’t mention Haleakala or Hana.

We’ve gone backpacking in Yosemite, and are looking for something similar. Isolated and remote.

Do you have any suggestions? It doesn’t have to be Maui proper, it could be some neighboring islands as well.

Thank you!

    You probably didn’t want another Hana suggestion but it seems nice with the waterfalls and all. You should probably consider stretching it out to 3-4 days or maybe even 4-5 and just take your time enjoying the scenery. Compariing it to Yosemite is tough since some of those hikes can be pretty nice – the one from White Wolf to Tuolomne (sp?) was a nice one though can pose some issues for those with knee problems. BTW, my friend and I did the Yosemite one and although she had some knee issues, she came through like a trooper and climbed the mountains like a billy goat! Whatever you do, have a great time in Maui!
