Īao Needle on the island of Maui is an iconic natural landmark that can be perfectly seen rom this viewpoint. It's a striking, pointed lava rock formation that rises 1,200 feet above the valley floor. The needle is surrounded by lush, tropical rainforest.

Simply an impressive mountain backdrop and the paths are also super fastened

This valley is amazing. Two creeks are joining here and you have a well maintained walkway with partly stairs up to the viewpoint. Be aware of the constant wind, or better storm, streaming upwards. There are sufficient parking spots and the entry is free of charge. You have to be out at 6 pm, otherwise your car is locked in until the next morning because the gate closes at 6 pm.
