Pu'u Loa Petroglyphs

VOLCANOES NATIONAL PARK. This fascinating area of Volcanoes National Park preserves images left by people from centuries past. At the Pu'u Loa turn-off, you won't need to venture far from your car before spotting age-old images representing native people's everyday lives – boats, dancers, fishers, animals, and tools (spears, paddles, poi pounders, and fish hooks) – etched into the hard, black lava. Have care: these images have endured for thousands of years, so avoid walking across them or touching them in any way.
