Kohala

Kohala is a mountain on the Big Island of Hawaii, part of the Hawaiian volcanoes. It is known for being an extinct volcano, meaning it no longer erupts. The landscape features lush valleys, waterfalls, and rich soil, supporting diverse plant and animal life. Historically, the region was significant for native Hawaiian culture and agriculture. Today, Kohala offers scenic beauty and outdoor activities like hiking and exploring historic sites. Its gentle slopes and fertile lands contrast with the island’s more active volcanoes, making it a peaceful and culturally important area on Hawaii's Big Island.
