Sunday Walk in the Park: Keanakāko‘i Crater

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 takes us along the closed portion of Crater Rim Drive to Keanakāko‘i Crater. We will see the massive road cracks caused by the 2018 eruptive events and look down into a crater once used by Native Hawaiians as a quarry for tool-making stone.

Difficulty: Easy/Moderate

Distance: 2.0 miles (3.2 km) round trip

Meeting location: Devastation Trail Parking Lot

Of interest: 2018 earthquake damage, volcanic craters, and panoramic views of Halema‘uma‘u.

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.
