  • This was nice to see history of Hawaiians. Really neat to see so many writings. It is hot and make sure you have water. It is quick and easy.

  • Pretty darn cool! Petroglyphs everywhere, you won’t miss them. Where good shoes, the trail is flat but that volcanic rock is rough. Other than tough terrain, easy walk, signs with good info too. Not busy. I’d recommend if you’re nearby! Give yourself 30 mins.
  • Thousands of old carvings into the lava rock. Surprisingly interesting. It's free and you just walk through the lava field. Go first thing in the morning before it gets hot plus the lightning is much better for pictures.
