This panoramic picture was taken near by the gate leading from Kaloko-Honokohau National Historical Park to Highway 19. I took a panorama here because it gives the best view over the a'a lava fields and the park itself. The sign on the gate reads 'E Komo Mai (Welcome)'.

Panorama sohwing the entrance road and the view over Kaloko-Honokohau National Historical Park (NHP) on Hawaii Island. This NHP was formed in 1978 to preserve cultural and native Hawaiian traditional land divisions (ahupua'a) of Kaloko and Honokohau, where hundreds of Hawaiians fished and farmed. The NHP is a nature reserve and contains a number of historical sites. These include fishponds Like the Kaloko Fishpond, kahua (house site platforms), ki`i pöhaku (petroglyphs), hölua (stone slide), and heiau (religious site). Also within the park is Honokohau Bay and beach. The park is open from 8am to 5pm.
