Alakaha Ramp bench
At the top of the Alakaha Ramp, on the 1871 Trail from Pu’uhonua o Hōnaunau National Historical Park to Ho’okena, is this little weathered bench. It offers shade and a lovely view to the north, the point of land being the park.

So beautiful! Is it on lava? The shore over there looks dark and rugged.

Yes. The lava flows in this part of the island are all from Mauna Loa. In general, the more lava visible, the more recent the flow. The amount of rainfall is a big factor too, in how quickly plants regrow.
