Hawaii Volcanoes National Park

The Kilauea Crater remains active and chugging up years later, but some of the effects of the other volcanic activity is open to check out up close, like the Kilauea Iki crater from a 1959 eruption. Several areas were closed for health reasons given the sulfur dioxide smoke coming from the crater, but still a fantastic place to visit.

Like so many other things, it all begins with a sign. And a nice, solid rock-solid sign at that. Sulfur dioxide contines to plume out of the Halema'uma'u Crater since its 2008 non-lava eruption. Lava tubes are how lava moves from the volcano elsewhere without crossing over open land.

The view along Devastation Trail, the area impacted with the Kilauea Iki eruption in 1959. The road that leads down to the ocean is a testiment to numerous eruptions and lava flows. Looking into the Kilauea Iki crater, which is one of the few you can hike into (a few hours' little hike).
