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 we will explore Mauna Loa in the sub alpine area.  Spectacular views, silverswords and more.  Be prepared for a 5–mile round trip hike.  Bring plenty of water, sunscreen, all weather gear, hiking stick (optional), bag lunch, hiking shoes/boots and any personal items.  We will carpool 11 miles to the top of Mauna Loa Strip road, and start our hike from the parking lot.

This event is presented by the Friends of Hawai‘i Volcanoes National Park, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization.  Program cost is FREE 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.
