Saturday Snapshot (February 2, 2012) Volcanoes in Hawaii

This continues the tour on our third cruise day as we visited Hawaii Volcanoes National Park on The Big Island of Hawaii. We did several stops on the Crater Rim Drive. I ended up choosing 10 photos so I will split them into two weeks.

KÄ«lauea caldera in the distance - note the pathway mid picture.


Zoomed in you can see the people (near top of the picture) who are walking across 
the Kilauea Iki trail to the crater rim!


Then we got to walk through a Lava Tube
which was really fun!

My feet got a little wet in the tunnel. :-)

This is part of the path through the tropical rain forest returning from the tunnel.
I loved walking through this and took many shots of the wild undergrowth!


To be continued next week with pictures of the actual volcanoes.

  8. Great pictures! I didn't know that they had a walk through the lava tunnel. Walking through the lava tunnel looks like a lot of fun. I would of enjoyed the walk coming back from the tunnel through the rain forest too. I love going hiking and seeing what wildlife and plants I can find. Thanks for sharing these pictures with us!
