Geocache Description:

Hidden Heiaus Haleki'i and Pihana are ones that people dont realize is there unless told otherwise. There is a virtual cache here also. Take the trail it is not on the site but on the opposite side.

PLEASE DO NOT TOUCH, WALK ON, OR DISTURB THE HEIAUS!

Haleki'i and Pihanakalani Heiau are two of Maui's most accessible archeological sites. The lava foundation is the remains of a heiau, or Hawaiian temple. On rare occasions, some of these temples were used to perform human sacrifices of the halihinis (commoners). It is thought that Pihanakalani Heiau is probably the last site where Kamehameha I performed such sacrifices on Maui. Besides religious ceremonies, some heiau were used as places of refuge for people in trouble. Reconstructed in 1958, Haleki'i heiau better represents its original structure in 1240.
