VOLCANO TRAIL

We stroll the short Devastation Trail to see the lava

pebbles dropped by the 1959 eruption of Kilauea Iki.

Little plants are making a comeback.

We also find lush vegetation where the lava did not fall.

The trail ends with a view of the Kilauea Iki Crater.

We also want to visit the Thurston Lava Tube, but rain is now

falling, Phil's knee hurts, and the lights are out in the tube.

We look down on the green valley that leads to the Lava Tube.

This is certainly a land of contrasts.
