Pala‘au State Park

Soak in the views over the Kalaupapa Peninsula, listen to winds rustle through groves of ironwood and eucalyptus trees and witness sacred rocks that are shaped like human genitals. This misty state park is at the end of Hwy 470, near the Kalaupapa Trail. It's good for a picnic, the snap a memorable photo of the former leper colony and you can camp overnight at the nearby campground.
