Hawaii: The Big Island

Snow capped Mauna Kea
There's nothing more exciting than to get off the beaten path and explore what natural beauty lay ahead on the Big Island of Hawaii. Boasting with tell tale signs of a slower paced lifestyle, the Big Island offers abundant waterfalls, gorgeous beaches and breathtaking volcanoes ! NEW! Kilauea lava flow pictures & travelogues. Most people fail to realize that it actually snows in Hawaii ~ this photo of a snow capped Mauna Kea was taken around early spring 2002. Big Island of Hawaii has FOUR National Parks to visit and add a stamp to your Nat'l Parks Passport Book.
Akaka Falls

Never-ending Waterfalls

The Big Island has many waterfalls, many of which you will miss is you're not looking for them. For example, if you're driving on your way to Akaka falls(pictured here), keep looking on each side of the road for "breaks" in the trees . . . there could possibly be a waterfall in the midst of the break. Be sure you check out my "Big Island Waterfalls" travelogue.

Beautiful beaches

The big island certainly has beautiful beaches. There are many beaches along the way that are "black sand" beaches. Be sure to stop by and visit one, but leave it the way you found it (clean, that is)

 It is unfortunate that the Volcano House only has smoking rooms. We tried to stay there for this May and I was told all rooms were smoking. So we are staying at the Hilo Hawaiian instead.

 Awesome!!!! Love the "Lava Flows at Nite" pic. That "King Kamehameha" statue sure gets around. I thought I saw it in Oahu. The name alone is a mouthful. HeHe. xxx. Lori.
