For our second day, we decided to go see Volcanoes National Park. We learned why the island of Hawaii is known as the Big Island. It's bigger than Connecticut. The trip to reach the park from Kona took about 2+ hours plus and took us through several climate changes. This is the view heading north over the volcano of Hualalai, the one on which Kona rests. This is the lava is from the 1801 eruption.
