The highlight of our Hilo trip was Bryan's second visit to the Volcano Park. His first visit was when he was two and he likes to tell everyone his mom had him on a leash so he wouldn't fall in the volcano. We all know how he likes to exaggerate...
On Saturday we braved the rainy weather and my miserable head cold to check out the craters, the sulfur steam vents and the molten lava! At sunset we hiked out over the recent flow to grab a seat on the rocks and watch the the lava flow into the ocean. We were probably a mile away but it was still fairly impressive to see. Sort of a trip to see land created right in front of you. Kilauea is the world's most active volcano and has had a fairly steady laval flow since 1983. It's currently growing the southeast edge of the Big Island.
