Start your search by turning off the Queen Ka’ahumanu Highway at the entrance to Mauna Lani. N19° 56.119 W155° 50.623 Keep right on the roundabout and look for a sign that reads “Holoholokai Beach and Petroglyph Park.” The trail head is at N19° 57.312 W155° 51.560 and about 19’ above sea level. From the trail head, it is about 0.56 miles to the cache.
The cache is a lure so that you can enjoy the “Puako Petroglyph Archeological District.” Man has always left his mark. Symbols carved in rock were left by early civilizations. The Puako Petroglyph site is one of the largest and finest concentrations of the mysterious symbols left in Hawaii. It is likely that many of these Petroglyphs were made sometime between AD 1000–1800. The best time to see the Petroglyphs is early morning or late in the afternoon when the sun is low in the sky. The area has a unique beauty of its own as the trail winds through the Kiawe trees. The park is open to the public from 7:00 AM to 6:30 PM. On your return you will find a nice rest room, shower, picnic benches and a great beach walk.
