This was once the site of thriving Hawaiian communities. In 1786 J.F.G.
de La Perouse, the first westerner to set foot on Maui, noted, "During our excursion
we observed four small villages of about ten or twelve houses each, built and covered with
straw..." This area is also the scene of Haleakala's last lava flow, estimated to
have occurred in the 1790's, a mere 200 years ago! Many ancient Hawaiian sites remain
along the shoreline trail. Please respect the Native Hawaiian archeological sites.
Stay on the main trail. Help preserve these priceless sites for future generations by
leaving them as you find them. End of Makena Rd. |
