Garden of the Gods
Mysterious Wind-Swept Rock Formations
| Address: |

Polihua Rd Lana`i, HI 96763 |
Description
The eerily beautiful rock formations at Garden of the Gods, or Keahikawelo, were shaped by wind erosion over thousands of years. The other-worldly, remote spot is dry and windswept, and the purple and red hues of the rock seem almost supernatural. It is no wonder, then, that ancient Hawaiian belief holds that the rocks here were dropped by the gods as they worked in their gardens. On clear days, the islands of Moloka`i and even O`ahu can be seen from the isolated, canyon-like area about seven miles from Lana`i City.
