Mountain Bike: Kalopa Perimeter Trail - Big Island of Hawaii
Kilauea Volcano, Island of Hawai'i, Hawaii, United States, North America
Kīlauea is a shield volcano in the Hawaiian Islands, the most active of the five volcanoes that together form the island of Hawaiʻi. Located along the southern shore of the island, the volcano, at 300,000 to 600,000 years old and going above sea level about 100,000 years ago, it is the second youngest product of the Hawaiian hotspot and the current eruptive center of the Hawaiian–Emperor seamount chain. Because it lacks topographic prominence and its activities historically coincided with those of Mauna Loa, Kīlauea was once thought to be a satellite of its much larger neighbor. Structurally, Kīlauea has a large, fairly recently formed caldera at its summit and two active rift zones, one extending 125 km (78 mi) east and the other 35 km (22 mi) west, as an active fault line of unknown depth moving vertically an average of 2 to 20 mm (0.1 to 0.8 in) per year. Kīlauea's eruptive history has been a long and active one; its name means spewing or much spreading in the Hawaiian language, referring to its frequent outpouring of lava. The earliest lavas from the volcano date back to its submarine preshield stage, and have been recovered by ROVs from its submerged slopes; other flows have been recovered through core samples. Lavas younger than 1,000 years cover 90 percent of the volcano; the oldest exposed lavas date back 2,800 and 2,100 years. The first well-documented eruption of Kīlauea occurred in 1823, and since that time the volcano has erupted repeatedly. Most historical eruptions have occurred at the volcano's summit or its southwestern rift zone, and are prolonged and effusive in character; however, the geological record shows that violent explosive activity predating European contact was extremely common, and should explosive activity start anew the volcano would become much more dangerous to civilians. Kīlauea's current eruption dates back to January 3, 1983, and is by far its longest-lived historical period of activity, as well as one of the longest-lived eruptions in the world; as of January 2011, the eruption has produced 3.5 cubic kilometres (0.84 cu mi) of lava and resurfaced 123.2 km2 (48 sq mi) of land. Kīlauea's high state of activity has a major impact on its mountainside ecology where plant growth is often interrupted by fresh tephra and drifting volcanic sulfur dioxide, producing acid rains particularly in a barren area south of its southwestern rift zone known as the Kaʻū Desert. Nonetheless, wildlife flourishes where left undisturbed elsewhere on the volcano and is highly endemic thanks to Kīlauea's (and the island of Hawaiʻi's) isolation from the nearest landmass. Historically, the five volcanoes on the island were considered sacred by the Hawaiian people, and in Hawaiian mythology Kīlauea's Halemaumau Crater served as the body and home of Pele, goddess of fire, lightning, wind, and volcanoes. William Ellis, a missionary from England, gave the first modern account of Kīlauea and spent two weeks traveling along the volcano; since its foundation by Thomas Jaggar in 1912, the Hawaiian Volcano Observatory, located on the rim of Kīlauea caldera, has served as the principal investigative and scientific body on the volcano and the island in general. In 1916 a bill forming the Hawaii Volcanoes National Park was signed into law by President Woodrow Wilson; since then the park has become a World Heritage Site and a major tourist destination, attracting roughly 2.6 million people annually. The volcano became a tourist attraction from the 1840s onwards, and local businessmen such as Benjamin Pitman and George Lycurgus ran a series of hotels at the rim, the most famous of which is the Volcano House, still the only hotel or restaurant located within the borders of the Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park. In 1891, Lorrin A. Thurston, grandson of the American missionary Asa Thurston and investor in hotels along the volcano's rim, began campaigning for a park on the volcano's slopes, an idea first proposed by William Richards Castle, Jr. in 1903. Thurston, who owned the Honolulu Advertiser newspaper, printed editorials in favor of the idea; by 1911 Governor Walter F. Frear had proposed a draft bill to create Kilauea National Park. Following endorsements from John Muir, Henry Cabot Lodge, and former President Theodore Roosevelt (in opposition to local ranchers) and several legislative attempts introduced by delegate Jonah Kūhiō Kalaniana'ole, House Resolution 9525 was signed into law by Woodrow Wilson on August 1, 1916.

Hōlei Sea Arch - Natural Arch (Volcanoes National Park, Big Island, Hawaii)
We drove all the way down Volcanoes National Park to see the Hōlei Sea Arch. I must admit, I think the journey to the Hōlei Sea Arch was better than the Hōlei Sea Arch itself lol. We saw Nene (Hawaiian state bird) and many unique old lava flows. Amazing journey!! When you get to Hōlei Sea Arch, you have to turn back because the road is closed due to lava flow. You can optionally park and walk, but you cannot drive any further. To see lava, you need to drive around and visit from Pahoa.

Established: August 1, 1916
Hawaii Volcanoes National Park is on Hawaii Island (the Big Island). At its heart are the Kīlauea and Mauna Loa active volcanoes. The Crater Rim Drive passes steam vents and the Jaggar Museum, which features volcanology exhibits and a viewpoint overlooking Halema'uma'u Crater. Thick ferns mark the entrance to the Thurston Lava Tube (Nāhuku). The Chain of Craters Road weaves over lava. Trails crisscross the park.
Kilauea Volcano:
Last eruption: May 3, 2018

Hilo Kilauea Volcano.m2ts
On the trip to the big island of Hawaii, we stopped in Hilo, and then sailed past the Kilauea Volcano at night. Hilo was very humid, raining and just not too much fun, however, seeing Kilauea at night was a real treat!

GoPro Hero - Hawai'i Adventures on the Big Island with the MAKA crew
Full of aloha and adventure, the island of Hawaii is an epic place to call home- especially for the Maka crew. Filmed by Joshua Lambus and Eric Franke, most of the footage in this montage was shot in the last three weeks, and all was shot entirely on the Big Island of Hawaii with the GoPro 3+ Black, 3 Black and Hero2 cameras on the Big Island. Huge thanks to everyone that was involved!

Biking the 12 Million Dollar Road at Kamoamoa in Hawaii Volcanoes National Park
Come virtually bike with us at the road built to allow access to Pahoa during the lava threat in 2014. Closed off (since it was finished and then the lava stopped) to cars but open to hikers and bikers. Filmed on location at Kamoamoa on Chain of Craters Road in Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. Mahalo to Kanekoa for the wild backyard concert music bed! Maikai No!
Ziplining Papaikou Hilo, Hawaii filmed by Josh's GoPro
We saved and paid for our vacation before it began. The plan was to fly straight from Atlanta to Hawaii, spend the night, then get on a cruise ship for 7 days to see 4 of the islands. Deloris planned excursions at every stop including rainforest hikes with waterfall swimming, zip lining, watching a sunrise from atop a 10,000 foot crater and biking down it, a luau, surfing lessons, and a helicopter tour of one of the islands. Epic doesn't describe it all. What a great way for us to celebrate 10 years of marriage. Awesome!

Bicycle ride up Mauna Kea from Hilo, HI.
This was the completion of my 50 state highpoint project. I didn't want to just ride up in a car, so I rode my bicycle, starting with my back tire in the ocean, to the summit. I walked the gravel road and about one mile of the steepest portion of the paved road just below the summit. Thanks to my family for indulging my obsession and to Brian for being my chase car driver.
Kona Hawaii - The BIG ISLAND is old Hawaii at its best.
Kona Hawaii is the most popular staging area for tourism on the Big Island of Hawaii. You can go mountain biking, surfing, scuba diving, explore active volcanoes or just hang out around town in Kona. There is only a small dock and no cruise ship terminal so ships visiting Kona use their tender boats to get passengers to shore.
This video is an original work created with photos and video I took in Kona Hawaii. Special effects and graphics were created on my computer with video editing software.
