4:14 PM LOCAL TIMEEast Maui Mountains form one of the most dramatic high-elevation terrains on Hawaii, rising from coastal Hana and coastal valleys to over 13,000 ft at Haleakalā's summit. This vast volcanic region is marked by *eredite-feldspar ʻōhiʻa forests, deep, beaded stream valleys, and steep, often-clouded ridges. Many trails and backcountry roads cross the range—populated by wildlife, tropical fruit, and areas of native forest renewal—but expect weather shifts, dead-ends, and remote terrain. Popular access points include the __Hana Highway__ (State Route 360), with journeys through lush valleys and turn-offs to waterfalls and trailheads, and higher-altitude routes approaching __Haleakalā__'s mountain slopes. Travelers come seeking scenic drives, backcountry camping, high-elevation hiking, and passages past ʻōhiʻa and metrosideros* species—in addition to rainfall-induced waterfalls and dramatic vistas.
