Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park
Located on the big island, Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park is where you go to say mahalo to Mother Nature for 70 million years of volcanism and what it has bestowed on Planet Earth. The park holds two active volcanoes, Kīlauea (one of the world’s most active) and Mauna Loa, (the world’s premier subaerial volcano). The park was created to preserve the natural settings of Kīlauea and Mauna Loa and serve as a refuge for native plants and animals.
Over half of the park is designated the Hawaii Volcanoes Wilderness area, and provides some very intriguing and unusual hiking and camping adventures. There are also ample educational opportunities to not be such a haole, and learn about the land. Check out the park Visitor Center, Volcano Art Center, and the Thomas A. Jagger M
