E Mau Na Ala Hele

In November 2000 President Bill Clinton signed into law S. 700, the “Ala Kahakai National Historic Trail Act.” Ultimately, the “Ala Kahakai” (Trail by the Sea) will be a continuous walking path, extending along the coastline of Hawai`i for approximately 175 miles. As much as possible the Ala Kahakai route will follow ancient and historic Hawaiian paths that are known to have existed in the past.
