Information About

Hawaii State Highway 61




The current Pali Highway is actually the third roadway to be built here. The original Pali "highway" went along much of the same route and portions of the old road still exist, although closed to vehicular traffic. When the current Pali Highway and its tunnels opened, the original roadway was closed and is now used by hikers. The Old Pali Highway, as it is now called, is noted in Hawaiʻi's popular culture for being a place with strong spiritual connections. Many "ghost stories" have settings along this old highway.
