    Spectacular Hawaii

    10 gennaio 2023, Stati Uniti ⋅ 🌙 68 °F

    Today we toured the western side of the island of Hawaii. First stop was Akaka Falls. It's twice as tall as Niagra. We then explored Kaulana Caves. We didn't go too far inside, but it was very impressive.

    After a Korean BBQ lunch, we toured the devistation from the 2018 lava flow, and visited Lava Tree State Park. There the lava wrapped around tree trunks to leave volcanic stumps.

    The grand finale was the sunset drive up to Kilauea, and the nighttime viewing of the roiling lava from the crater rim. So lucky to be here when that was happening.    Leggi altro
