According to, On the Slopes of Mauna Loa, Hawaii Island, Source 3, they state, “The southern slopes from Kahuku to the county park at Honuapo Bay include the green segment that winds into the Waiohinu Valley then down towards the ocean, with a panorama that may extend to a distant view of the Kilauea volcano.” (62). The eruptions can lead to a beautiful landscape. The volcano attracts tourists and spectators to view its amazing scenery and realize the true beauty of the volcanic explosions. Also according to, On the Slopes of Mauna Loa, Hawaii Island, they state, “The Kau Scenic Byway offers by far the longest stretches of unspoiled natural scenery to be found anywhere in the inhabited Hawaiian Islands.” (62). Eruptions like the Mauna Loa, not only provide vegetation but they can form a beautiful tourist attraction. By providing scenery, spectators and tourists from all around the world can come and see what an erupted volcano can truly become. It helps people all around the world understand that there are more to volcanoes than just negative impacts. There are positive effects, for example the attraction and erupted volcano can become. Also, On the Slopes of Mauna Loa, Hawaii Island, they state, “This section includes landscape passing over relatively new lava so the traveler can experience transition from substantially untouched to well

Today I arrived at Haleakala National Park to visit for two days. This island is located on the east side of Maui, Haleakala is 33,233 acres. Haleakala means, “House of the Sun” in Hawaiian. Every year Haleakala has over 1.4 million visitors. This year I am one of the lucky visitors to explore this National Park. Made up of a volcano, mountains and beaches this is going to be an adventure so I’m keeping a journal about my adventure at Haleakala National Park. The park is divided into two areas, the summit and coastal Kipahulu area. I will journal about the elevation of the summit and the coastal area Kipahulu.

Waimanalo is way out away from Waikeke its ttruly excellent, however thereare others ones as well.

The user profile contributes to the environmental impact on Diamond Head. Studies conducted on visitors participating in outdoor recreation concluded that respondents were not particularly aware of how their recreation contributed to environmental impacts (Chapter 3) which is displayed by the users at Diamond Head since the vast majority of hikers are unfamiliar with Hawaii and past experience with any activity is what influences whether people are appropriate in their recreational pursuits (Hammit & Cole, 1998). According to Yara Lamadrid-Rose, coordinator of Diamond Head State Monument, erosion from foot traffic has caused Diamond Head to decrease in height; it has eroded about two feet in 10 years on certain areas of the trail (Watanabe, 2010). The erosion has resulted in the trail surface becoming extremely uneven (DLNR, 2000). Unrestricted access to the interior of the crater has also caused obvious scarring from soil breaking away

In the passage, "Lava Beds National Monument," the author wrote, "They can also take guided tours of the park, hike along scenic trails,climb cinder cones, and learn about the natural volcanoes and high desert in northern California." The students can go on a guided tour, so that no kid gets hurt or lost. Hiking is good exercise for us kids. Some kids don get the exercise they need,s o this will be the perfect chance for the kids. Climbing seems fun right? Well, guess what they have that to. They also have underground lava tubes that the kids can explore. In the passage, "Lava Beds National Monument," the passage states "Tourists can explore underground lava tubes that look almost like rocky water slides." Us 8th graders will have a lot of fun doing this activities. What makes it even better is that it is on the border of Oregon and California. just imagine being in two states at one time! I have always found that pretty

This 14,411 foot active volcano is hiked by thousands. To reach the summit, there’s a vertical elevation gain of more than 9,000 feet over a distance of eight more miles. Climbers who don’t reach the summit completely have to descend to lower elevations because of bad weather, strong winds, or altitude illnesses. The youngest to make it to the summit was a 7 year old girl, and the oldest person to make it was an 81 year old man. There are

To begin with, I am afraid of falling off the side of a mountain. Even if the edge is over 100 feet away, I can still picture myself tripping and accidentally going over the edge. Because of this fear, I absolutely did not want to go on the hike. I pouted, whined, and did everything I could to resist the adventure. The hike aside, the car ride to the base of the volcano is terrifying enough because of the twisty, mountainous roads in addition to left-hand side driving. And why was no else concerned that the volcano might erupt while we were on it? Unfortunately for me (at the time), my family and I made it to the starting point of the trail. I trudged up the volcano, trailing behind the rest of my family, and after two terrifying and exhausting hours, we made it to the summit. It was breathtaking. We were literally in the clouds, we could see Saint Lucia in the distance, and seeing the steam rolling off the bottom of the crater was unexpectedly exhilarating. I could never have imagined what a volcano would look like, and I am so grateful that my family forced me to go—I will never miss an opportunity like that just because I do not feel like

Reese Wells and his two friends, Brad and Tyler, took an adventure of a lifetime at Zion National Park and Angels Landing in Utah by hiking in the dangerous mountains to fulfill the empty gap in their friendship, making them closer than ever. Reese and his friends were joined by thousands of visitors and tourist on their hike. The hike of the peak was two and half miles and 1400 feet of elevation gain. After they woke up early they were fighting headwinds at the steep edges of the Zion monoliths. The author described the Zion monoliths as purple and blue sky gazes its pale dawn from behind the mountains. The three soon found themselves Walter’s wiggles, leading the to Scout's Landing. Despite the beautiful sight, the hike was still very dangerous.

Oahu is home to the majority of Hawaii's population for a reason. From the crystalline waters of Kailua Beach to the legendary North Shore, Oahu offers something for everyone. Whether you want to hike to the top of Diamond Head or wander small towns like Haleiwa, Oahu is one of the top destinations in the Hawaiian Islands. For history lovers, Pearl Harbor and Iolani Palace are top tourist sites. Meanwhile, top shops and boutiques can be found within Honolulu.

Volcanoes in Hawaii are dangerously spewing lava into the sea. People who live in the area like tour guides need to avoid the danger it brings. “Tour boat captains whose vessels cruise along the shoreline are constantly watching the cliffs and lava to keep their passengers safe.”(Jones) The area is constantly changing because if the lava making new landforms so locals have to keep an eye out. The workers who work at the park need to keep an eye on the tourist. “On land, the National Park Service is responsible for the safety of visitors along the shore. It has restricted the areas that people can enter to view the flow.”(Jones) By being around this area is extremely dangerous, but people curious mind always gets the best of them.

When we went to Hilo I learned a lot. Some things that I learned was that on the hike you are not alloed to abet anything otherwise you will be cursed. Also on the lava tube hike it was different cause I am use to being balmy. Even when there was an influx when we just got there I was very cold cause it was like freezing. And because there was a congregation of people I got warmer from peoples body heat. When we went on the hike I felt humdrum cause I knew it was going to take lots of effort and work. Cause you have to be very agile to jump of rocks and intricately walk through or around cracks. Some times I even had to divert to a safer path.

”Ok, so we’ve climbed four. Hey! That’s only one left,” Kailani walked to her car and took out the paper she wrote all the volcanoes that she had to climb on then sat down beside Kiwi who was still happily munching away at her lunch. “No, no, no, no,” Kiwi looked up. “The last volcano left...it’s Mauna Loa. I forgot we’d have to climb it. It’s not only the largest volcano in Hawaii Kiwi, but the biggest in the world. Tourists don’t even go up there. And that’s our last hope in finding any type of clue to get to Dad,” Kailani was suddenly freaked out. She had no idea how she was going to climb Mauna Loa. She looked down at her leg and was suddenly filled with pain as she thought of having to climb the monstrosity with it. “No. We have to

My family urged me to persevere and keep going. Along the way, the intoxicating fragrance of nearby guava fruit wafted through my nose. We enjoyed a brief break along the way to capture a quick picture, drink some water, and eat a snack. As we started to incline, my legs began to tire. With what I thought seemed just a few minutes to go, the trail wound up right to the edge of the canyon. Although the trail was pretty wide, any railing or other type of safety precaution was not present. My family and I stepped off to the side for one more break until the end. My dad spotted a small boulder about the size of a watermelon, and with a smaller rock, he engraved, “The Chins. 7/23/09.” In a way we had left an imprint of our hard

During the trek visitors would enjoy the wonderful landscapes and be able to wander from the rainforests all the way to the crater-lake and be stunned by the presence of elephant herds. Walking on the solidified lava flow from the 1999's volcanic eruption will be not only truly challenging but mind-changing. Locals refer to the walk as the
