Pu'ukohola, rising above the ocean on the northwest coast of the island of Hawaii is one of the few remaining heiaus, or temples, left from the early days of Hawaiian civilization. This particular temple was built by King Kamehameha I—the first Hawaiian king to unite the tribes throughout the islands under one ruler—in the late 18th century.

State(s): Hawaii

Established: 1972

“So many rangers i have encountered through the years have shown their knowledge and enthusiasm for their job. I appreciate that the parks and rangers have been available for me and my family. ”
