Hawaii Volcanoes National Park Kilauea Volcano is the most active volcano on earth. It is impossible to predict what sort of show may be in store for you when you visit. There may be lava hissing into the sea at some underground location, or the caldera may be spitting glowing lava and the earth beneath youy may rumble and groan. This park has not only the ever changing volcano, but miles of rain forest hiking trails. Hale Mahinui is three miles from the park entrance, so no long drive back after you hike. |

This is the caldera of Kilauea Volcano in mid May 2002. The
volcano has been in an active cycle since 1983, with lava flows
from vents on the other side of the mountain periodically flowing
into the ocean. You can readily view the awesome power of this
mountain from both inside the park, and from locations in other
parts of the island where lava has covered the road and altered
the landscape significantly. |
