This press release is a good reminder that the Kalalau Trail is difficult/very challenging, and may not be for everyone. Know your limits and know the conditions before entering the trail. Having the proper footwear, more than enough water/food is a must when hiking this trail. We have had a high number of rescues this year, and some people were unprepared for this hike. We want our visitors to enjoy the island, know your limits and stay safe.

ISSUING THIS ALERT STATUS FROM DLNR STATE PARKS FOR OUR VISITORS:

[KAUA'I] - 7/11/25: VISITORS TO WAIMEA CANYON AND KŌKEʻE STATE PARKS CAUTIONED TO EXPECT DELAYS AND LIMITED PARKING.

Beginning July 14, 2025, Waimea Canyon Lookout with be closed for construction on weekdays from 7am-3:30pm. The project is expected to last four approximately 4 months. This closure, in addition to several overlapping roadwork projects by both DOT-Highways and DLNR-State Parks, will cause delays, impact traffic patterns, and restrict overall parking capacity in these two popular parks through the end of the year. DOT work is continuing on Waimea Canyon Drive, while work on portions of Kōkeʻe Road near the meadow, and from the Kalalau Lookout to Puʻu o Kila lookout will be starting the same week. Visitors can drive as far as the Kalalau Lookout, where improvements will also be initiated on July 17, with limited parking available. We urge patience and driving with care as these various improvements are ongoing. Local visitors are encouraged to enjoy these parks on weekends, when most work will be suspended.

Today we honor Prince Jonah Kūhiō Kalaniana'ole. Keali'i Maka'ainana - The Citizen Prince.

Prince Kūhiō was instrumental in establishing the Hawaiian Homes Commission Act (HHCA) of 1921, which set aside approximately 200,000 acres of land for Native Hawaiians. As a delegate to the U.S. Congress, he fought to provide land for Hawaiians to help restore their self-sufficiency and cultural connection to the land.
