Caption: Maui Revisited A Journey Across The Valley Isle
Caption: It's hard to pick a favorite Hawaiian island, they all hold incredible beauty. But there's a reason why they say Maui No Ka Oi, Maui is the best. Between the lush West Maui mountains, the volcanic wonders of Haleakala and of course the amazing beaches, it's easy to see why Maui is so high on everyone's favorite island list.
Caption: I briefly lived on Maui in 2003, and only now 12 years later I finally return to re-discover the magic of this island. My journey starts on the West side of the island, then winding down the famous road to Hana, finishing around the backside and up Haleakala.
