Hawaii Volcanoes National Park
Hawaii volcanoes national park is home of the most active volcano in
the world. It's been flowing steadly
since 1983. The park is located about 90 miles
south of Kailua Kona. Over 1 million people a year come to Hawaii just
to see the volcano here on the big island.
Of course the flowing lava is the main attraction but there
are many other cool things to see in the national park.
Thurston lava tube, Volcanoe House and Jagger museum are other things
you should see while at the park.
The park is located at about 2,000 feet elevation and is very cool
compared to lower elevations so make sure you dress like you're going
to the mountains and not the beach. Because you are!
You could spend a week at Hawaii Volcanoes National Park that's how
much cool stuff there is to see there. The park even has it's
own hotel. Volcano House. Don't expect 5 star though, it's more like
motel than hotel. But it does have a great view of Halemaumau
crater which is still glowing at night as of the time of this writing.
2009.
