Our family decided back in August to check out the Lava Tree State Park which is about 5 minutes from our house here in Pahoa. We had a nice little hike and enjoyed walking through the canopy of trees and all the ferns. Here is a little bit of knowledge on the park.
Situated in the Nanawale Forest Reserve, this park is a graphic depiction of the long-term effects of lava. Hundreds of years ago, a fast moving flow of hot lava hit this patch of wet 'O'hia trees. The lava forever encased the structures leaving behind vertical, hollow, lava tubes where each tree once stood.
Lance, everyone knows Lava isn't made out of trees.
