These signs were everywhere in the National Park, but sadly we didn't see any Nene
The Halema 'uma' u Crater overlook was our first stop. There wasn't any active lava flow, but the expanse was still spectacular.
The Halema 'Uma 'U Crater last erupted in 1972.
Highest point of our relationship....4078 feet.
Nicole and Chris smile for the camera.

Looked like the inside of a mine addet.
When we drove across the park, to the Kilauea Iki Crater overlook, and saw people hiking across it's vast expanse. It didn't take long to decide to hike down into it ourselves.
Watch out for the cracks....
Nicole checks out a small steam vent. Don't stand in front of the steam too long. It's hot.
The two white dots on the horizon are Chris and Mik on a exploratory detour of a steam vent.

A panaromic of this colossal site where lava erupted in 1959.
At over a mile across, the crater just keeps going.
This steam vent holds intrigue for the group. Lava anyone?
Can you hear me now?

Erik took it to the next level and got a closer look at the steam in this steam vent.
And while the Kiluea Iki Crater did threaten any molten explosions, it did prove dangerous for Jeni who found that surfing down a volcano is gnarly...literally.
Oh well, it's a free souveneir of Hawaii.
