Kona Magazine - Hiking, Kona, Big Island, Hawaii
Kona, Hawaii   1871 Trail
   
The 1871 Trail follows the path of an ancient trail. It is part of a system of trails that encircled the island to serve as trade routes. This portion of the trail was last improved in 1871, hence the name 1871 Trail. The trail is part of Pu'uhonua o Honaunau National Historical Park, and it begins behind the park's visitor center. Walking the trail, you will be led through Hawaiian history and natural resources until you reach the abandoned village of Ki'ilae. 
       
Kona, Hawaii   Bobcat Trail
 
Bobcat Trail Habitation Cave is a historic site of Ancient Hawaiian living quarters in a remote interior area of the island of Hawai'i. The trail was part of a system used before the time of King 'Umi, who moved the royal residence to a site nearby on the same high plateau in the 16th century, now called Ahu A 'Umi Heiau. Original studies were focused on the coastal areas that remain inhabited today, but even this more marginal area has evidence of human activity from A.D. 700 until the 18th century.
Kona, Hawaii   Kaaha Trail
 
Kaaha Trail starts at the Hilina Pali trail.  Hilina Pali trail switchbacks steeply down to the coast to Kaaha Point, about 7.5 miles round trip. The trail starts gently in the forest and then becomes switchback trail that takes you to the bench floor of the pali some 1,500 feet below. It is then another gradual 780 feet to the coast.  The trail branches several times, you will want to continue (follow signs) to the "Ka'aha Shelter."  This shelter is at the end of the trail at the lava pools on the coast.  You can see palm trees thriving along the pools. You can snorkel and see lots of sea life in the protected waters of the tidal pools.
