November 9, 2014 - 118 Days Old


Sunrise hike back up to the smoking volcanic caldera.  Kadin was not overly impressed but we enjoyed the beautiful colors of the sunrise through clouds and volcanic smoke.



Next, we took a 4 mile hike down into the caldera of Kilauea Iki, a smaller crater that still has steaming vents but is dormant with no recent eruptions nor noxious fumes.  What a surreal landscape - like all the movies about other planets!

Kadin didn't know what to say about that crazy landscape.  He was smiling seconds before this but I liked his expression here... a new one and I'm not sure what the heck he was thinking at that point!

We arrived at Volcanos National Park and hiked up to see the Kilauea Caldera at sunset.  The 1/2 mile hike back to the campground in the dark was a highlight for Kadin.
