Uakea, Hana, Maui
Ka'uiki Hill is located on the right side of Hana Bay. This hill was formed in one of the last lava events on Maui. A volcanic vent sprayed lava up into the air. This gaseous lava was caught by the trade winds coming off the ocean, piling the lava into a hill. The lava is rich with iron giving the hill and nearby beaches a deep red color. There is a trail that leads along Ka'uiki Hill to a red sand beach pocket. Along this trail is a plaque marking the site where Queen Ka'ahumanu was born in a nearby cave. She was the favorite wife of King Kamehameha I. The point of Ka'uiki Hill stretches into the ocean where a small light beacon is located to warn ships of the shoreline.
Useful Information:
Trail to Ka'uiki Hill begins to the right of Hana Pier and goes about 200 yards to the red sand pocket beach (see HANA for additional information on this beach).
Wear sturdy shoes for the hike as the ground is rocky with loose volcanic cinder making the trail slippery.
Directions:
Park at Hana Bay Beach in Hana. To the right of the Hana Pier is the trail to the Hill.
