Hawai'i Day 3



Robb loves ferns.


Posing in the center of the volcano.

Yep, we just crossed that!

Into Thurston Lava Tubes


Today we stepped into an active volcano. We originally planned on a 4-mile hike to Pu'u O'o (the heart of the current active eruption), but the current volcanic activity has that trail closed off, so we did a 3-mile hike at Kilauea Iki instead. We descended through a fern forest down onto the floor of the venting volcano. Next we checked out the lava tubes and ancient petroglyphs.
