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.
*Moving this month’s walk to Saturday instead of Sunday because of Mother’s Day.
This month’s walk explores Ha‘akulamanu – Sulphur Banks. We will start at the Kīlauea Visitor Center and follow the trail to Sulphur Banks, then cross Crater Rim Drive to the steam vents and Kīlauea viewing area. This easy walk is mostly on flat and level ground. Be prepared for variable weather conditions, including sunny, windy, chilly, and/or rainy.
Difficulty: Easy
Distance: 1.2 mile (2 km) round trip
Please note: Visitors with heart or respiratory conditions (such as asthma), pregnant women, infants, or young children should avoid this walk.
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 below.
