Horseshoe Bend, AZ is open to any member of the public from sunrise until sunset every day. There is a short trail leading to the overlook, about 10 or 15 minutes, but it’s paved and very easy for even the least athletic hiker. That’s part of what makes Horseshoe Bend so popular as a tourist […]
Seeing Maui’s beach parks can be expensive, although you don’t necessarily have to break the bank. On average, you can expect to pay about $200 to $250 a day during your trip. That means a one-week vacation to the Valley Isle will cost around $3000 or $3500 for a couple – definitely not something to […]
You can certainly drive up to the summit of Haleakala and watch a Maui sunrise on your own, although we’d recommend taking the family with you. The view of the sun coming up from the top of the volcano is one of the most beautiful sights on the island and something that nobody will want […]
In general, we’d recommend taking the short hike out to Horseshoe Bend in the morning or at midday. Around noon is nice because the sun shines directly down into the canyon, illuminating the whole thing nicely. However, if you’re worried about crowds, the morning is probably a better option. If you arrive early enough, you’ll […]
The summit of Haleakala is the most popular place to watch a Maui sunrise, which means it’s often fairly crowded. In order to prevent the parking lot from getting too overcrowded, the Parks Service offers reservations to see the sunrise on a specific date. The reservations only cost $1.50 since the system is really just […]
You don’t need to make a reservation to visit Horseshoe Bend, although it’s a popular location and does get pretty crowded. We’d recommend visiting early in the morning if you want to avoid having to jockey for a spot with other tourists. The hike out to the canyon overlook is short and easy for hikers […]
You can certainly get around Maui’s beach parks without a rental car, but we wouldn’t recommend it. There’s not much of a public transportation network on the island, and it can get expensive to pay for cabs all the time. Renting a car will also allow you to take some of Maui’s gorgeous scenic drives […]
We’d recommend visiting Sedona, AZ in the spring, between March and May. Arizona gets pretty hot during the summer, but the springtime weather features temperatures between the mid-60s and the low 80s with little to no humidity. Spring is also when the desert flowers bloom, so the area’s distinctive red rocks are lit up with […]
There are a ton of places where you can watch a gorgeous Maui sunrise during your time on the island, but there’s one spot that stands above the rest – quite literally. About 75% of the island of Maui is covered by Haleakala, an enormous shield volcano that last erupted about 500 years ago. The […]
Horseshoe Bend is an extremely popular destination for tourists, so it’s probably best to visit during the off-season. Visiting in the fall or winter will help you avoid both the crowds and the heat since Arizona gets pretty warm during the summer. During December and January, temperatures drop all the way down to the 40s, […]
