[IMAGE OF HAWAII VOLANCOES NP] The Park

First created to preserve the volcanic mountains of Mauna Loa and Kilauea, Hawaii Volcanoes National Park now has many activities. The park is always open, so you can go hiking, picnicking, backpacking, and touring whenever you like.

The park has lush rain forests and jagged craters, but remember there are no pets or bikes on the trails. Explore large areas devastated lava flows and eruptions. Write the park at the address below for more information.


Weather

The weather at Hawaii Volcanoes is fairly temperate year round. Be prepared for an average temperature in the 60's or 70's, maybe a little cooler in the "winter" months. Even though this applies anytime you're traveling to Hawaii, especially be prepared for rain from October-May.

Be sure to stay on all marked trails and avoid suspicious geologic hazards such as steam vents, earthcracks, and cliffs.
