Hawaii’s National and State parks

Hawaii’s National and State parks
On the big island of Hawaii, Hawaii Volcanoes National park is very famous. It is 30mi southeast of Hilo on Highway 11, has the only rain forest and the only active volcano in the U.S. National park system. Call ahead for eruption updates. Haleakala National Park has some of the island’s most spectacular sunrises, hiking trails and camping. Kalaupapa National Historic Park on Molokai’s unspoiled Kalaupapa peninsula houses a former leprosy clinic. To reach this park you must either hike in or make the pilgrimage by mule ride. The USS Arizona Memorial at Pearl Harbor pays tribute to the more than 1100 sailors who lost their lives aboard the battleship when it was attacked by the Japanese on December 7, 1941.
