Did you know? Numerous Petroglyphs, stone carvings, are preserved within Waikoloa Beach Resort, including some of the best examples in the state. Originally, there was no written Hawaiian language, and some petroglyphs are thought to be astronomical symbols, travel markers, or commemorations of historic events. There is a marked petroglyph trail near the gas station at Kings' Shops *Please stay on the trail and do not approach the petroglyphs for photos or rubbings. These are fragile carvings, possibly thousands of years old, and are easily subject to damage and erosion. Enjoy from a distance, and join us soon!

Don’t forget! Your park is FREE Thursday, November 11 for the Veterans Day holiday. We mahalo all veterans who served in the U.S. military – including many members of the National Park Service staff.

Planning to visit the current eruption over the holiday weekend? Please make your first stop the park website. For many, a two-mile round-trip hike in the dark is a too much, but you can often catch jaw-dropping views of the lava lake reflected into the night sky from easier vantage points along Crater Rim Trail, like this one behind Volcano House weather permitting.

Visit https://go.nps.gov/new-eruption for more information.

It appears that Pele woke up from her power nap. The views of the summit eruption are incredible this morning!

USGS reports that the summit of Kīlauea began to reinflate from 6 p.m. to midnight last night, resulting in increased lava lake growth. The gas plume wafting out of Halemaʻumaʻu Crater is much more robust today.

Volcanic activity can change at any time. Check the park website for information on air quality, viewing areas, and how to plan ahead for a safe and fun visit: https://go.nps.gov/new-eruption
