We docked at two ports on the Big Island: Hilo on the East side; Kona on the West side. On October 22 our Road Scholar group went to Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park -- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hawai%CA%BBi_Volcanoes_National_Park -- where we got to see the results of a very active volcano: Kīlauea. It spewed destructive lava as recently as the summer of 2018. We saw some of the results of that explosion as well as from the big explosion of 1959. On October 23 we Road Scholars were treated to a a hike through an amazing Cloud Forest which was begun about 30 years ago.
