Morning light slices through the cloud-wet canopy as your horse steps from the ranch lane onto a narrow trail. The West Maui Mountains push up steep and green to your left; below, valleys fold toward the Pacific. Waterfalls drip from cliffs after rains and the ocean waits ahead, the coastline breathing salt and wind.

History
The West Maui Mountains (Mauna Kahalawai) are the eroded remnant of an old shield volcano and formed ancient ahupuaʻa divisions that guided resource use and settlement.
Conservation
Ranch operations limit rider weight and group size to reduce trail erosion and protect horse welfare; visitors are asked not to feed animals and to stay on designated paths.
