From the roadblock, visitors can look down the abandoned Crater Rim Drive, where geological activity has torn up the pavement. An 2008 explosion in the active Halemaʻumaʻu Crater wrecked a nearby overlook and swallowed much of the southern rim road. The rest of the drive has been closed since then and nature is slowly taking it back. Hikers can see into Halemaʻumaʻu, an active pit within Kīlauea Caldera, with Mauna Loa behind it. The lava pit is best seen at night or at dusk. The ground keeps changing, so follow trail signs and stay within the boundaries, since the road beyond this point has collapsed into the volcano.
A 3.3 km circular route from Volcano to walk, run or cycle, with 42 m of climbing.
