Hualalai

Review:

Hualalai is one of the most active volcanoes on the island of Hawaii, one of five shield volcanoes that actually form the island.

Its highest peak is 8,271 feet high and about 300,000 years old. Its next eruption is expected within the next century.

The mountain, inhabited by natives since before recorded history, was a popular among Hawaiian royals, who built may palaces on its slopes.

The volcano ecology is interesting, with a number of rare plant species and nature reserves.

The coast is dotted with luxury resorts and golf courses.

A huge number of hikers attempt to go up the Hualalai, which is a fairly easy hike, although the land around the summit is privately owned.
