Take a “Sunday Walk in the Park” June 8 in Hawaii Volcanoes National Park.
The five-mile round-trip hike, sponsored by the non-profit Friends of HVNP, will start at the park’s resources management parking area at 10:30 a.m.
Hike leader Nick Shema will take Kilauea Iki Trail to Na Huku (Thurston Lava Tube), then down the Escape Road for about one mile, taking a right on the Crater Rim Trail.
“We will follow that trail to the Chain of Craters Road and proceed to the Devastation Trail parking lot,” Shema said in a FHVNP release. “From there we will take the Byron Ledge Trail to the Kilauea Iki Trail and back to the starting location.”
