Nine miles across 'Au'au Channel from west Maui, sits the oyster-shell
shape of tiny Lanai. Formed by a single volcano rising to 3,370
feet, it is Hawaii's sixth largest island. The island is 13 miles wide and 18 miles long and nearly 140 square miles.
There is a lookout at Lanai hale summit above Lanai City, where you can see five of Hawaii's other islands
-- every island except Kauai and Niihau. Along the Munro Trail,
a jeep road and hiking trail that winds up through Norfolk pine
forests planted by New Zealand naturalist George C. Munro, there
is an overlook above Hauola Gulch, Lanai's deepest gorge, which
drops 2,000 feet down to sea level on the island's east coast.
