We walked the path mid-morning to escape heat, and its said you can see the markings best when there is some shadowing. Starting from the parking lot at Holoholokai Beach Road, the path fools you at first, looks paved, but quickly becomes natural, so natural...More
very quick walk lots of stones in a circle. the place also has the salt and pepper beach. wonderful alltogether.
The hike was easy, though uneven. The petroglyphs were awesome to see. Nice free activity. The trees provide a nice shaded hike.
