Pu'u O Mahuka Heiau State Park

While we drove up the hill off North Shore to were we where going this afternoon we saw a state historical park & decided to check it out. After a long bumpy dirt road that made me a wee bit nervous (because we were in my car) we finally made it to a small parking lot at the end. Pu'u O Mahuka Heiau State Park is were we where a old run down monument was what we saw. There was a camp site to the left that looked as if some homeless people lived there but they had signs out asking for money to help maintain the area. It didn't look as if that's what it would have gone for because the park was very old and not well taken care of at all. However there was a small trail that circled around the area and we decided to follow it. As we were walking you could here the ocean crashing up against the shore line. The further we got around the louder it was. Finally we came to a opening and there was a perfect view of Waimea Bay. It was so pretty and neat to see from higher up, you don't realize how big it really is down on the beach. It would be the perfect little area to go and have a picnic and watch the sunset or rise.
I enjoy finding hidden little areas like this as we are out driving around, its so neat to see the history of the island.
