chinaman's hat
As you once again ride along the trail along the ocean face of Moo Kapu o Haloa Cliffs, you get a beautiful view of Mokolii Island now commonly known as Chinaman's Hat and Kaneohe Bay in the distance.
The legend behind Mokoli'i is that Hi'iaka, Pele's sister, created Mokoli'i Island by sleighing a threatening no'o, dragon, and setting his gigantic flukes in the water as landmark. She used the body of the creature to form the lowlands below the Kualoa Pali (cliffs) that provided travelers with the room for the path and current highway that runs around that edge of Oahu.
