Halemau'u Trail (View Large to find hikers)

This trial makes a quick decent to the floor of the crater. At over 8000 feet of

elevation, it's the hike back out that tests the body and spirit. There are a

couple hikers on the trail. See them? Thanks for looking! Aloha.

They look like they're trying to hail a taxi ;-)...  An impressive chunk of lava rock with the trail (and hikers) giving it excellent scale... Mike

On the left side.... Nice work, Dominick!

I don`t have Mike`s eagle eyes and it took me a little while to find the hikers because I made an early assumption of where I would find them. In my birth place in the Caribbean, there is a dormant volcano but it only goes up to 4000 feet and in the last few years when I have mounted this volcano I would stop a few times pretending to take images but it was really to rest and get more wind in my lungs. 8000 feet might just do me in! Thanks for sharing this exotic scene.

It is a nice work.  Love the road winding and climing the mountain.  Best Regards,
