Located on the dramatic slopes of Mauna Loa, the Kahuku Unit within Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park offers a unique glimpse into a landscape shaped by both man and nature. Once a thriving cattle ranch, this 116,000-acre expanse showcases a blend of pastoral tranquility and volcanic activity that continues to mold the land.

Visitors can explore a variety of day hike options, ranging from short but strenuous climbs to sweeping panoramic views and encounters with volcanic features dating back to the 1868 lava flows. Ranger programs provide additional insight into the rich history of Kahuku, from the era of Hawaiian cowboys to the devastating 1868 eruption of Mauna Loa.
