Please consider making a donation to the Maui Strong Fund to help the victims of Hawaii's recent wildfires.

This section of the Acid War Zone Trail in Wailuku, Maui starts at the northern most trailhead and passed through eroded coastal fields before reaching a lighthouse atop a cliff edge. This is an easy 0.8 mile out-and-back hike to the lighthouse, but you can extend the hike by an additional 1 mile or more by following the trail down towards the water and south towards the Nakalele Blowhole.

From the lighthouse, you can look down upon Maui's battered cliffsides and to the north you get views of Kahakuloa Head - the two massive rocks jutting up from the northern shore.

Wildflowers can be found along the trail due to the frequent rain that hits Maui's northern coast. Don't be surprised if it rains on you a couple of times during the hike.

Respecting the Land
Hawaiian land is considered sacred to native Hawaiians and many locals, so please stay on-trail, take nothing but photos, and leave nothing but footprints. Respect the locals - don't stay for long and have a backup hike planned in case the parking lot is full.

Before you leave...

MyHikes is an indie web platform aimed to make exploring public trails easier for everyone. The site has no investors and is owned and operated by one person, Dave Miller (Founder & Admin). As the Founder, main contributor, and doer-of-all-things for MyHikes, I share my trips with over-detailed write-ups for fun on a volunteer basis and I believe that public trail information should be available to everyone.

It takes a lot of time 🕦, money 💰, and effort (including espresso shots ☕) to run MyHikes, including hiking , mapping , writing , and publishing new trails with high-quality content... along with building new features, moderating, site maintainance, and app development for iOS and Android . I simply ask that if you find MyHikes' trail guides helpful to please consider becoming a Supporter to help keep the site, iOS, and Android apps available to everyone.

Supporters unlock website and in-app perks with a one-time payment of $25 (you renew) 😎👍. Or you can simply make a Donation of your choice without a MyHikes user account. Otherwise, telling your friends about MyHikes is the next-best thing - both quick and free 🎉

Thanks for visiting MyHikes and have a great hike!️
