Along the ancient trail that passes "Anaeho'omalu" (now Waikoloa Beach Resort) on Hawai'i Island, thousands of petroglyphs tell of those who stopped to record their passage over the centuries.

Much speculation has been offered, but little is really known about the meanings of these rock carvings. Some may have been clan emblems; others may have commemorated events. They are treasured today as evidence of the original culture of Hawai'i, irreplaceable and priceless.
