One of the country's most unique national parks, Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park is located on Hawaii's Big Island. Two of the most active volcanoes in the world can be found here, and visitors can hike across hardened lava beds, past colorful crystals that have been formed by volcanic gasses, and even into the caldera of one of the active volcanoes. If you'd rather explore the park by car, you can drive along the Chain of Craters Road or take a trip around the Crater Rim Drive. Visitors with an interest in stewardship are also invited to help cut invasive himalayan ginger in the forest.
