Show Notes
When you visit Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park, after you've gazed into the Kīlauea crater itself if it's erupting, you should make a point to hike the Kīlauea Iki Trail. Starting from an overlook near Nāhuku (aka the Thurston Lava Tube), the trail goes down through the rainforest and out across a crater floor created back in 1959 by one of the most spectacular eruptions of the 20th century at the national park.
