Located near the park entrance Hosmer's Grove was planted in 1910 as an experiment to see which variety of tree would grow best in Hawaii. tree's from all over the world were planted. The short nature walk has small signs naming the trees and where they originate from. There is a small camp ground with picnic table's, grills and tent spaces. In addition there is a 3 sided covered structure with 2 picnic tables for less than ideal weather. Our family thinks this structure should have our name on it as we always arrive to find it empty and waiting for us :)
This afternoon our friends from Germany accompanied us. Hamburgers grilled on a small weber , Potato salad, watermelon, and fruit salad. It was a wonderful afternoon. Our friends proceeded up to the summit for the evening sunset. We feel so fortunate to have this National Park in our back yard.
