Attraction

Kilauea lki Trail

Crater Rim Drive, Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, 96785, HI

One of the more popular trails in Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, the moderate, four-mile Kilauea lki Trail has its share of switchbacks and climbs, and is “equivalent to climbing down and up a 40-story building,” according to the trail guide. The reward? A fascinating exploration of a rim and crater floor of a volcano that erupted in 1959. Kilauea, one of the most active volcanoes in the world, is the reputed home of Pele, the volcano goddess. The Kilauea Visitors Center is a sensible first stop, with its variety of educational exhibits. Visit the national park’s website for up-to-date information on lava activity.
