The hike around the crater rim

We hiked around the rim of the Kilauea Iki crater to get back to where we started our hike. The trail was lovely and shaded and we enjoyed the view where the vegetation was thin enough to see.

That's the vent from the 1959 eruption. The cinder cone was not there before. It is also the crater side of the devastation trail that we did yesterday.

Byron’s ridge is the rim between Kilauea Iki and the main Kilauea caldera. From this angle we could see where the road fell into the crater in 2018.
