INFORMATION

QR PARK GUIDES

Q R C O D E S Y S T E M

Distributed in various ways along trails and on benches across Nā Pōhaku o Hauwahine State Park Reserve are QR code tags. Each tag, used in conjunction with a smart phone, will bring up a webpage specific to the location where the tag is found. Like this page, the display is tailored to the narrow vertical layout that users prefer on their phones.

The QR code system was rolled out in March 2022 and is being redistributed this summer as some tags tend to fade or suffer water damage over time.

The tags are color coded

Orange/Brown for information on a location and directions for moving along the trail.

Green for identifying a plant—its status and cultural use.

Blue for additional information; in some cases with links to other websites that may be of interest.

The ORANGE-BROWN site information page has a compass orientation graphic that provides directions along the trails from the location of the tag. Here is an example:

On the compass diagram, "----" or "|" indicates the trail; "= = =" indicates a stairway.
Face north to right/left orient on the diagram.

road	= = Ki‘i mo‘o	marsh
Piko ------ [EXIT]		-- top of rock Kilohana
road	Nu‘uanu Pali	Olomana

NOTE: THE ABOVE EXAMPLE IS NOT NECESSARILY APPLICABLE TO YOUR PRESENT LOCATION.

To correctly use the above graphic, face north and the trails and far away objects appear around a central compass approximating eight different directions from you. For example, the diagram above is a tag that would be found near the top of the main pōhaku. It shows the trail goes west (left) to the piko and the park exit and right (east) a short ways to the top of the rock (lookout or kilohana). Straight ahead (north) are stairs going down to Ki‘i mo‘o. Olomana peak is behind over your right shoulder and the Nu‘uanu Pali dominates the view behind you.
