Near Hilo in Hawaii County, Hawaii — Hawaiian Island Archipelago (Pacific Ocean)
Pu'u'ō'ō - Volcano Trail
Daniel K. Inouye Highway
Lava flows have destroyed much of the trail, reducing it to a 7.4-mile fragment that no longer extends to Kīluea Volcano. Hikers will enjoy native species and old-growth koa trees within several kīpuka (older oases within a newer lava flow) along the trail.
Which birds are visible today? Birders may catch a glimpse of 'ōma'o, and 'akiapōlā'au. Caution: seasonal hunting of pig, sheep and goat is permitted. Trail can be difficult to follow.
