Description
Ko'olau Mountain Range, Oahu, Hawaii. Beautiful view of the mountains from a nearby hiking trail.
The Koʻolau Range is a fragmented remnant of the eastern or windward shield volcano of the island of Oahu. It is not a mountain range in the normal sense, because it was formed as a single mountain called Koʻolau Volcano. Ko'olau meaning windward. What remains of Koʻolau is the western half of the original volcano that was destroyed in prehistoric times when the entire eastern half—including much of the summit caldera—slid cataclysmically into the Pacific Ocean. Todays Koʻolau mountain forms Oʻahu's windward coast and rise behind the leeward coast city of Honolulu — on its leeward slopes and valleys are located most of Honolulu's residential neighborhoods.
