Palolo, Hawaii
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Palolo is a valley and residential neighborhood of Honolulu, Hawaiʻi, USA; approximately four miles east and inland from downtown Honolulu, and less than a mile from Diamond Head. Like many of Hawaiʻi's neighborhoods, Palolo consists of an entire valley. The mauka (mountain-side) of the valley is agricultural in nature. The makai (ocean-side) of the valley ends approximately at Waialae avenue and is densely settled, mostly with single-family homes.
Palolo includes the Kaʻau Crater, an extinct volcano in the mountains at the back of the valley.
Palolo stream runs through the valley before joining Manoa stream to form the Manoa-Palolo drainage canal, which flows into the Ala Wai Canal.
Palolo Valley is bordered on the mauka end by the Koʻolau range, to the Koko head (approximately East) side by Wilhelmina Rise, on the mauka end by the neighborhood of Kaimukĩ, and on the ʻEwa (approximately west) side by Waʻahila Ridge.
