After our cabin stay, we did a loop around the volcanic crater. It was pretty amazing, it looked like a martian landscape and there were steam vents all over. One of the most interesting stops along the rim of the crater is down into the Thurston Lava tube, where you can walk down into a dark underground tunnel. Its pretty amazing to think that lava had created this tunnel, and that we were walking through it. When we had finished checking out the park, we headed to Hilo, a town on the east side of the island. From Hilo we took a day trip up to some waterfalls nearby, and had lunch at an excellent little cafe with organic food. You can find pictures HERE.
