Leave the beaches to others when visiting Maui, said Gary Warner in the Orange County, Calif., Register. Instead, go “upcountry,” toward the “cloud-wrapped immensity of Haleakala,” a volcanic wonder that rises more than 10,000 feet from the sea. You’ll find “trendy restaurants” like these three in towns along the way.
Mama’s Fish House & Inn
