View of the coast at Hawaii Volcanoes National Park

A view along the coast at Hawaii Volcanoes National Park

Chain of Craters Road is the route down to the coast in Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. As the name implies, it passes a variety of volcanic craters, which were the scenes of eruptions in years gone by. But as it gets close to Hilina Pali, a series of great views open up. This one looks to the west and southwest, the backcountry part of the park.

A fantastic view. Have you been affected by the recent heavy rains and floods in parts of Hawaii?

Well, it poured today, but in general, we don’t have too bad a time of it. There was some flooding on the island, but I think the recent storms have hit other islands harder.

Thanks, Brian. It’s a dramatic coast, especially when the surf is pounding.
