Kaloko-Honokōhau National Historic Park

We arrived in the hot heat of the afternoon and the boys were zapped from already a morning of fun in the sun. So we toured the visitor’s center and hatched a plan to do the big hike in the morning during our next visit. We are scheduled to go Dec. 2021, so I’ll post more photos then. It was a this site, along with the inspiration from Andy at 418parks.com that I want to pursue visiting all sites in the NPS collection.

The spirit of the people (poe) and the knowledge of the elders (kupuna) created a tradition of respect and reverence for this area.
