’Īao Valley
-
The sacredness of this valley stretches far back into the prehistory of Hawai’i, but in more recent times it became known as the site of one of the bloodiest battles ever fought on Maui. Hundreds were killed in the 18th century when Kamehameha I waged war to unite the islands under his rule. The area is now a state park, with marked trails for hiking and the cool freshwater ’Īao Stream offering the respite of a cool dip on a hot day. (see ’Īao Valley and Kepaniwai)
