MAUI Although they may not realize it, Maui is the Hawaii most dreamers envision when they picture this extraordinary state. With over 80 spectacular beaches of white, red and black sand; the 10,023-foot Haleakala Mountain; and acres upon acres of greenery, even the wildest of imaginations cannot do the place Condé Nast Traveler has voted "Best Island" for the past 19 years justice. The Road to Hana is perhaps one of Maui's most famous pilgrimages; its 52 miles of 620 curves, 59 bridges, rainforests, cascades, plunge pools and ocean views make it impossible not to look down. Rare wildlife and exotic birds provide peaceful company on this drive, and on the hike through Pipiwai Trail to Waimoku Falls and the tiered Pools of Oheo. Sophisticated Kaanapali Beach—the island's signature beach— and Kapalua's five bays in the West Maui Mountains are popular among travelers; others make Wailea, with its five crescent- shaped beaches and stellar golf courses, their home base. In between, the historic whaling village of Lahaina provides opportunities to visit dozens of art galleries, watch the whales just off the coast, and celebrate another day in paradise with a luau. 31 37 37 36 31 30 31 400 350 340 360 377 378 Hana Highway Maalaea Bay Kahului Bay Pailolo Channel P A C I F I C O C E A N Kahului Airport Kapalua Airport Hana Airport Haleakala Crater Kahului Kihei Lahaina Wailuku Paia Keokea Keanae Kapuna Olowalu Kaanapali Honolua Kahana Wailea Haleakala National Park K u l a H w y .
