The plaque reads:
"Rainbow Falls has been a popular place to visit for over 100 years. Although the view of the falls has remained the same, the way that people get here has changed over the years. From foot and horse to automobiles, it is the beauty of Rainbow Falls that beckons us. The waters of the Wailuku River drop 80 feet (24 meters) to create Waianuenue or Rainbow Falls. Plunging in front of a natural lava cave created by the powerful splash back, the water falls into the large pool below. The width of the waterfall increases during periods of heavy rainfall."
The sign show pictures of Rainbow Falls taken in 1890s, 1900, 1930 and 1940.
