Sliding Sands Trail

Hike down into the huge crater (11 km across) of an inactive volcano. The crater is mostly eroded.

The interior of the crater is sandy and desolate and contains many cinder cones (sand hills formed from smaller volcanic activity).

Kīlauea Iki

Kīlauea Iki is a smaller caldera located next to the larger more active Kīlauea caldera. Since the Kīlauea caldera floor has been closed to hikers due to volcanic activity, Kīlauea Iki is as close as you're going to get. The Kīlauea Iki trail starts on the crater rim and drops down to the caldera floor. You get to walk across the entire breadth of the caldera floor seeing different kinds of lava, stream vents, sulphur, and all that volcanic goodness.
