On a 1942 Easter Sunday night, four months after the attack on Pearl Harbor, two planes crashed on Oahu and 19 lives were lost due to bad weather and blacked-out conditions. Without any city lights to guide them, one of the planes, a B-17 “Flying Fortress,” crashed into a mountain near here. A plaque lists the names of the flyers aboard that plane.

Before that, the spot was known for a 1795 battle where King Kamehameha, using European weaponry, drove defending warriors over the cliff, ending a long conflict and unifying the Hawaiian islands under one rule. All except for the Islands of Kauai and Niihau that were later earned through negotiation, 10 years later.

Can be chilly and WINDY, a light jacket is advisable. As with other remote parking lots on the islands, lock up valuables or take them with you.
