Mauna Kea and Volcanoes Nat'l Park

On Liz's last full day on the island, we went to Volcnoe's Nat'l Park by way of the Saddle Rd. We had enough time to detour and drive up to the 9,000 ft level and climb a nearby cinder cone. I took her to one of our favorite picnic spots where we could see the view from 9000 ft.

Then, we arrived at the park and drove down to the main crater rim. Took some shots of all the steam coming out of the vents around the rim of the crater. Some very surreal shots of the barren land with all sorts of steam and strange plantlife.
