    The Devastation Trail leads through the aftermath of the 1959 Kīlauea Iki eruption to Puʻupuaʻi ("Gushing Hill") Overlook, where visitors get an excellent view into Kīlauea Iki Crater at the existing cinder cone. The Devastation Trail exhibits a diverse landscape where the wasteland left by the volcano is at odds with flora and fauna rapidly recovering ground.

      This path shows the wounds of a volcanic eruption in 1959, but in some places you can see the regenerative power of nature. (Iron wood trees)

        Great experience to see an active volcano including a look inside the crater
