Plans for Kona, Hawaii


Here are my plans for tomorrow:
Hawaii Volcanoes National Park
Duration
Approximately 8 - 8 1/4 hours
Description
Drive along the scenic southern coast of the Big Island of Hawaii. You'll travel through the lush tropical forest to Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, 4,300 feet above sea level. Here you will view Kilauea Volcano--home of Pele, the legendary Goddess of Fire. You will stop at the Kilauea Visitors Center, ride along the spectacular 11-mile Crater Rim Drive and visit the Thurston Lava Tube. Here you will view two kinds of lava, the smooth pahoehoe and jagged a'a, sulphur banks and bleak desert areas. Learn of the Big Island's formation at the Jaggar Museum. A hearty buffet lunch will await you at the Volcano House, which overlooks Halemaumau Crater.

Jeff,
You know that Kilauea is probably my most favorite place on the earth. Hopefully the weather is nice and you get some great pictures.
