It traverses through hundreds of ancient Hawaiian settlement sites and over 200 ahupua'a (traditional land divisions).

Ala Kahakai National Historic Trail Map, National Park Service

The Ala Kahakai National Historic Trail (NHT) combines three kinds of Hawaiian trails:

1. ƒ surviving elements of the ancient ala loa1

2. ƒ historic trails that developed on or parallel to the traditional routes post-contact (1778)

3. ƒ more recent pathways and roads that created links between these ancient and historic segments.

These trails may run lateral to the shoreline or, within the trail corridor, run mauka-makai (from sea toward the mountain). The trail extends approximately 175 miles from ‘Upolu Point on the northern tip of Hawai‘i Island down the Kona Coast and around South Point to the eastern boundary of Hawai‘i Volcanoes National Park (map 1). The National Park Service (NPS) administers the Ala Kahakai NHT.
