Luahiwa Petroglyphs

rural trail off Hwy 440 , (access trail one mile outside Lanai City)

Lanai, HI

Distinguished as some of the best-preserved petroglyphs on Lana'i, these rock carvings depict animals, people and ancient symbols. They can be found at the end of a steep dirt road that wends through the pineapple fields and is only accessibly in a four-wheel-drive vehicle. Petroglyphs are primitive works that resemble cave-man drawings. They're crudely scraped or drawn onto rock, and oftentimes are simple stick figures. While the Luahiwa Petroglyphs were created some time in the 18th century, they could easily hearken back to an earlier millennium.
