Manawainui Gulch

Take a Short Hike on Maui

Embark on the Manawainui Gulch Trail, a brief 0.1-mile journey unveiling panoramic vistas along Maui's southern cliffs, where the waters of Haleakala have sculpted a profound chasm into the landscape. While the Manawainui Gulch typically remains dry unless rainfall is substantial, the spectacle of Haleakala's southern slopes juxtaposed with the immense chasm is breathtaking.

This compact trail, though short, can be windy and demands caution near cliff edges—keeping to the trail is imperative for safety. Ample parking is available on the western side of Manawainui Gulch, offering a spacious turnout for numerous vehicles.

Exercise caution during heavy rainfall, as flash flood warning signs mark dry creek crossings on the route. Attempting the trail in such conditions may pose risks, and the potential for getting stuck or encountering flash floods is significant. Explore the Manawainui Gulch Trail for a captivating glimpse into Maui's geological wonders.
