Stone sentry

		Lanai's wild and rocky hillsides are scattered with the signs and symbols of an earlier age. Inscriptions of figures on horseback, outrigger canoes, and livestock hint at forgotten tales of island life. Atop Kaholo Pali, the island's highest sea cliff, geometric figures stand sentinel over the long-deserted fishing settlement of Kaunolu. The village's excavated ruins and lofty setting make for a thrilling exploration of pre-contact Hawaiian culture.
