Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park

This park offers a front-row seat to the primal forces that shape our planet, home to two of the world's most active volcanoes: Kilauea and Mauna Loa. Visitors can drive Crater Rim Drive, hike across volcanic deserts and through lush rainforests, and descend into a massive lava tube. When active, lava viewing (from safe, designated areas) is a breathtaking experience. The park also protects vital native Hawaiian ecosystems and archaeological sites.

Its dynamic, ever-changing landscape-where you can witness new land being created-provides a unique geological adventure unmatched by any other national park in the system.
