Fodor's Review:

This 12.8-mi jeep trail along a fern- and pine-clad narrow ridge was named after George Munro, manager of the Lanai Ranch Co., who began a reforestation program in the 1950s to restore the island's much-needed watershed. The trail climbs Lanaihale (House of Lanai), which, at 3,370 feet, is the island's highest point; on clear days you'll be treated to a panorama of canyons and almost all of the Hawaiian Islands. The one-way road gets very muddy, and trade winds can be strong. A sheer drop-off in some sections requires an attentive driver. Keep an eye out for hikers along the way. You can also hike the Munro Trail, though it's a difficult trek: it's steep, the ground is uneven, and there's no water.
