Jul 12: SUNDAY WALK IN THE PARK - Devastation Trail
This monthly program on second Sundays is aimed at bringing together the members of the Friends of Hawai‘i Volcanoes National Park to explore the Park’s beautiful trails.
This month’s walk explores Devastation Trail, a paved path through a landscape transformed by the 1959 eruption of Kīlauea Iki. Witness the contrast between the stark cinder fall zone and the resilient native forest beginning to return. This easy walk offers a glimpse into the raw power of volcanic activity and the beauty of ecological recovery.
Difficulty: Easy
Distance: 1.0 mile (1.6 km) round trip
Meeting location: Devastation Trail Parking Lot
Please note: This trail is wheelchair and stroller accessible. Be prepared for windy and sunny conditions.
This event is presented by the Friends of Hawai‘i Volcanoes National Park, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. Program cost is $5.00 for Friends members. Non-members are welcome to join the Friends in order to attend. And, of course, additional donations are always accepted. Park entrance fees apply.
All attendees must be a current Friends Member. If you are not a member, you may sign up here.
