When you take a trip to Hawaii, you can’t consider your trip complete without a visit to Volcanoes National Park. The park is made up of more than 500 square miles of wilderness and volcanoes and is unlike anything you are going to see on the mainland. The park was created in 1916 and is run by the National Park Service.Visitors can hike, camp, and see some of the most famous and impressive active volcanoes in the world including Kilauea and Mauna Loa, as well as the Thurston Lava Tube.The park also contains the Hawaiian Volcano Observatory, the Volcano House Hotel, and the Jaggar Museum, which shows the different methods scientists use to study volcanoes, including active seismographs, diagrams, and plenty of other displays. The museum is the perfect place to learn about the history of the islands and the volcanoes that helped to form them.When you come to the park, it only costs $10 per car, so load up the entire family. The pass is good for seven days, so you can make return trips if you wish. The park is large enough that many people do just that. A trip to the volcanoes is something that you are never going to forget.
