Hawaii
Volcanoes Travel PlannerHawai'i Volcanoes National Park, established in 1916, displays the results of 70 million years of volcanism, migration, and evolution -- processes that thrust a bare land from the sea and clothed it with complex and unique ecosystems and a distinct human culture. The park encompasses diverse environments that range from sea level to the summit of the earth's most massive volcano, Mauna Loa at 13,677 feet. Kilauea, the world's most active volcano, offers scientists insights on the birth of the Hawaiian Islands and visitors views of dramatic volcanic landscapes.
Over half of the park is designated
wilderness
and provides unusual hiking and camping opportunities. In recognition
of its outstanding natural values, Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park has
been honored as an International Biosphere Reserve and a World Heritage
Site.
