Phallic Rock, Pala'au State Park
In the high country on the north end of Molokai we reveled in the cool misty pines that comprise Pala'au State Park. There are picnic tables, petroglyphs, and winding trails atop 3,000 foot sea cliffs.
One trail was a pleasant walk to Phallic Rock. According to traditional Hawaiian religion, any young maiden who has trouble conceiving a child will become pregnant if she brings a gift and spends the night at the base of this unusual formation. Karen posed for a picture but didn't dare leave an offering. A necklace beside the rock let us know that an earlier visitor had done just that.
