Lance and I decided to take advantage of having my mom here with the kids to hike the #1 recommended hike here on the Big Island. We woke up and headed up to the Volcanoes National Park to hike the Kilauea Iki Trail. The trail is a little over 3 miles which includes ancient rain forest to a newly lava-paved crater and back through the rain forest. At the end of our hike we sat at the scenic overlooking the Kilauea Caldera and the smoke rising from the Halema'uma'u Crater. As we were eating our lunch we watched as a cloud moved into the crater and slowly swallowed it until the visibility was almost gone. We had a great time and thought an appropriate activity for our anniversary since we went hiking on our first date. We followed up the evening with a nice dinner at Paulo's Bistro in Pahoa town.
