volcanoes national park


These pictures are from a day trip that Tim and I took a few weeks ago down to Volcanoes National Park. We went there once when we first moved here and did the Kilauea Iki hike, which was fantastic (in my opinion, it's the best thing I saw in the whole park) but we wanted to go back and see everything else that was there to see. There were some really interesting formations and petroglyphs -- and lots and lots of lava rock! :)

For those of you who haven't heard, we will be moving back to California next week. So this will be my last Hawaii blog post!! I'm a little sad to say goodbye, but I'm always looking forward to the next adventure...














This is devil's throat! It's an unmarked, little known trail off the side of the road that most tourists don't know about and technically you're not supposed to go there because the ground is unstable and you can fall in and kill yourself.

But you know me, we went anyway. :)  It was super cool!!! This pit is crazy deep!!




The lava was all shimmery and multicolored. So cool!




See the dark area? That's one of the most recent lava flows! (Hardened and cooled for a long time, of course.)














Petrolyphs!!!
