Nuuanu Pali Lookout



The book we read says "The Nuuanu Pali ("Cool Height Cliff) overlooking the 985 foot cliffs of the Koolau Mountain Range, is one of the best views of Oahu. It was here in 1795 that King Kamehameha and his warriors defeated the O'ahu armies by sending them over these steep, forested cliffs and claiming his victory and uniting the Hawaiian islands. The breathtaking sight and the gruesome history of the battle fought here is enough to send a chill up your spine." It was really a gorgeous place. So hard to think of such a terrible thing happening in such a beautiful place.
