Kamakou, Volcanic summit in Maui County, Hawaii.
The Kamakou summit rises 1,515 meters above sea level, forming part of the extinct East Molokai shield volcano within the Hawaiian Islands chain.
The geological formation of Kamakou resulted from volcanic activity during the creation of the Hawaiian-Emperor seamount chain millions of years ago.
Native Hawaiians regarded Kamakou as a sacred mountain, incorporating it into their spiritual practices and traditional resource management systems.
The Nature Conservancy conducts monthly guided tours through the 2,774-acre Molokai Forest Reserve, requiring advance reservations for participation.
The mountain shelters over 250 rare native Hawaiian plants and provides critical habitat for endangered bird species like the Molokai thrush.
