Kilauea Iki Trail - Top 10 Bucket List Hikes (Volcanoes National Park, Big Island, Hawaii)
This was one the best hikes in Volcanoes National Park! It seems to be the one that everybody does. You get great views from the rim, then inside the crater, it's like nothing else! You feel like you'll be swallowed by the volcano at any point! lol... It's definately a bucket list hike!
Kīlauea Iki Trail
Kilauea Iki Trail and Crater Rim Trail is a heavily trafficked loop trail located near Pahala, Hawaii, Hawaii that features beautiful wild flowers and is rated as moderate. The trail is primarily used for hiking, walking, and nature trips and is accessible year-round.
Great day hike down into and across a solid lava lake in Hawaii Volcanoes National Park.
Klauea Iki Trail starts in the rain forest on the crater's rim. The trail descends 400 feet through the rain forest to the crater floor. Hikers will cross the still-steaming crater floor, past the gaping throat of the vent that built Pu'u Pua'i cinder cone, and return to your starting point via the crater's rim.

Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park
Address: Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, HI 96718
Established: August 1, 1916
Hawaii Volcanoes National Park is on Hawaii Island (the Big Island). At its heart are the Kīlauea and Mauna Loa active volcanoes. The Crater Rim Drive passes steam vents and the Jaggar Museum, which features volcanology exhibits and a viewpoint overlooking Halema'uma'u Crater. Thick ferns mark the entrance to the Thurston Lava Tube (Nāhuku). The Chain of Craters Road weaves over lava. Trails crisscross the park.
Kilauea Volcano:
Last eruption: May 3, 2018
Elevation: 4,091′
Prominence: 60′
Location: Hawaiʻi, United States
Volcanic arc/belt: Hawaiian–Emperor seamount chain
Kīlauea is an active shield volcano in the Hawaiian Islands that last erupted between 1983 and 2018. Historically, Kīlauea is the most active of the five volcanoes that together form the island of Hawaiʻi.

Pu'u Huluhulu Hike - Hawaii
My brother-in-law Roger and I head out on another hike in the Volcanoes National Park on the Big Island of Hawaii. We are trying to beat the sunset so that we can get out and back before it gets dark and getting lost doesn't help. . .
We had a great time and thanks for watching!
Pu'u Pua'i Overlook, Hawaii Volcanoes National Park
Written and Produced by Donald B MacGowan
Narrated by Frank Burgess
Video and Still Photography by Donnie MacGowan and Frank Burgess
Pu'u Pua'i, which means gushing hill, is a cinder cone perched atop the rim of Kilauea Iki. At Pu'u Pua'i Overlook an incredible view of Kilauea Iki, which means Little Kilauea spreads beneath you. Eruptions of Kilauea Iki in 1959 followed almost a century of quiescence and produced fire fountains exceeding 1900 feet—the highest on record anywhere. The overall eruption proceeded in spurts of activity—brief eruptive events separated by times of quiet--which produced enough lava and airfall material to bury a football field 15 inches deep every hour (about two million tons of lava per hour). However, in between eruptions the lava drained back into the vent, only to be ejected again and again over the 36 day life of the eruption.
Today, the mile-wide cooled and solid surface of the lava lake, tucked 400 feet below the crater rim, is cracked and undulating, pocked and tiled in tilted pahoehoe blocks, issues steam from many vents. Crossing the crater floor on this surface provides one of the most interesting hikes in the Park. Looking up from the bottom of the crater, one can see the distinctive ring around the crater marking the high point of the lava lake during the last eruption. Hot, liquid rock still roils only a few hundred feet below the hardened modern surface of the crater floor.
Distances are difficult to comprehend here, unless you see hikers on the trail, across the rim or on the crater floor for scale. Once you have an idea of the magnitude of this crater, bear in mind that the fire fountains in the 1959 eruptions, at their peak, reached about four times the height of the current crater walls.
It is both extremely unsafe and ecologically unsound to visit the actual summit of Pu'u Pua'i. The entire Devastation Trail area is an outdoor laboratory in forest regeneration after the devastating burial in hot air fall material. Please stay on designated trails and do not wander out across the cinder landscape; you will destroy delicate plant life and interrupt soil-forming process, disturbing the natural laboratory.
.For more information on Kilauea Iki, please go here; for information on hiking the Kilauea Iki trail, please go here; for information on the Devastation Trail are adjacent to Pu'u Pua'i, please go here.
Thomas A. Jaggar Museum & Kīlauea Lookout (Volcanoes National Park, Hawaii)
Visiting the main museum: Thomas A. Jaggar Museum in Volcanoes National Park, Hawaii. I highly recommend coming here at night to see the lava glow from Kīlauea volcano. It is unlike nothing else!!

Day Hike to Mauna Loa Volcano Summit
(time stamps below)
What a grand day! I executed a day hike (nearly 13 miles) to/from the summit of Mauna Loa, the largest volcano on our planet. I spent the day discerning between You can't do this, and You shouldn't do this. Sometimes you just need to get outside, to go within.
I began the journey long before dawn, starting from home at 1,000ft above sea level, in order to provide adequate acclimation time for the climb to 13,677ft/4,169m. I stopped at Mauna Kea State Recreation Area, at 6,500 feet, to begin acclimating. Then I poked along to Mauna Loa Observatory Road—turn is beside Pu'u Huluhulu. Then at about 9,000ft, I stopped to acclimate more. I then proceeded to the weather station. My foot hit the trail about 7:30am. I will remember this day, forever.
This video contains images and footage of my hike: from acclimating with the dawn to sharing a meal with the summit. I hope this video may help give anyone interested an idea of the terrain, but be aware, the conditions can be unexpected. These images and footage may offer a sample of the wonder and beauty, but they merely suggest the awe within which I remain enraptured. I will refer to this video, myself, as a chronicle of the day, for my inner smile’s benefit; if it helps anyone else to prepare for the same hike, or to experience it vicariously, then I'm grateful.
???? I made the mistake of losing track of time at the summit, and was faced with making my way down the slope in the dark. (I had a head lamp, but I don't recommend doing any of this trek in the dark!) Though it was beautiful with a sky so full of stars, it's not advisable.

Pu'u Wa'awa'a CINDER CONE Hike on the Big Island of HAWAII
We hiked to the summit of the Pu'u Wa'awa'a Cinder Cone on the Big Island of Hawaii early in the morning on this day.
This is one of the best hikes on the Big Island of Hawaii. The elevation gain in a nice challenge and the views from the summit of the Cinder Cone are superb. When the sky is clear you are treated to excellent views of Mauna Kea, Mauna Loa, Hualālai, Kohala, and the island of Maui.

**Thanks to viewer Robert Whitaker for the following corrections regarding locations. Waipi'o Valley lookout is in Waip'io, not Honoka'a (we used it as the nearest town as a point of geographic reference). Kiholo State Park is not in Kamuela, but in greater Kailua-Kona area. Punalu’u Black Sand Beach is not in Ninole, but Pahala*
***Apologies for the misspelling of Kamekameha.
????We recommend downloading The GyPSy Audio Guide if you end up driving around the island (
????Due to the volcanic eruptions on May 2018, check for Hawaii Volcanoes National Park attractions statuses and closures
(
????It was helpful to know the status of Parks & Beaches in Hawaii we intended to visit so check out the Hawaii Division of State Parks website.

Kipuka Kahalihi, Hawaii Volcanoes National Park
Kipukas are holes between lava flows where vegetation is saved from being incinerated or buried. At Kipuka Kahalihi, however, much of the vegetation was buried in hot cinders blown here from the 1969 Mauna Ulu fire fountains. Only the tall vegetation was preserved from ash burial and only very hardy species have grown back since the eruption.

Peering into Kilauea Volcano - Pu’u ‘O’o Big Island Hawaii
Peering into Kilauea volcano - Pu’u ‘O’o rift via helicopter on the Big Island of Hawaii. This was one of the most thrilling things I’ve ever done! Pu’u ‘O’o is part of Kilauea’s eastern rift zone. Until April 2018 this volcanic cone had been erupting almost non-stop since January 1983. It was the longest ongoing rift-zone eruption on the planet over the past 200 years! The collapse of its magma floor led to some of the 3-month-long lava flow and destruction on Hawaii’s Big Island in 2018. Because it is no longer shooting lava into the air, we were able to peer right into this Kilauea volcanic cone. Amazing! We booked the Circle of Fire and Waterfalls Tour from Hilo with Blue Hawaiian Helicopters through TripAdvisor. Highly recommend this once-in-a-lifetime experience!
