Hole in the Mountain

The distinctive mountains pictured above dominate the mauka views north of Anahola where I have been staying. Can you see the hole in the mountain? From the tall tree in the foreground look up to the "valley" to the right of the sharpest peak, and in the shadows a little down and to the right you should see a point of light where the sky shows through. Thereʻs a blowup below to make it easier.

Not that many years ago the hole was much bigger but a heavy storm broke loose rocks and debris that have largely but not completely filled it in. Now you have to be at a certain angle to get a good view of the hole - I think there is one place along the highway where you can see it. Definitely you can see it from Hole in the Mountain Farm. Someone told a story of a daredevil flying a helicopter through the hole back when it was larger but I canʻt confirm that.
