What is the name of the state park in Hawaii where the trees fought off a lava flow?

Any informational websites would be nice too. I went there several years ago and cannot for the life of me remember the name of that state park! It was on the "Big Island" of Hawaii.

    My best guess is that you visited the Lava Tree State Monument, located just south of Pahoa on the east side of the island. 'Ōhi'a trees were surrounded by a 1790 lava flow, and the molten rock formed pillars as the trees themselves burned away. It's a 17 acre park with a small paved trail, picnic areas, and a bathroom.
