Alanui Kahiko - Lava-Buried Road
Alanui Kahiko - Lava-Buried Road
About
The Alanui Kahiko Lookout is easiest to access on the way up the Chain of Craters Road. Look out for the sign and a large, paved shoulder to pull over. While at the lookout, to your right you will see an epic view of lava that once cascaded down this mountain during its march to the ocean. You can actually see both types of lava side-by-side: the smooth and ropey pahoehoe and the rough and jagged 'a'a.
To your left, about 50 feet away from the lookout, you will see the old road covered by lava that I just mentioned. It was buried in the 1969-1974 eruption of Maunaulu.
Fun Fact: In Hawaiian, Alanui Kahiko literally means "old road"! This is one of the only places in the park now to take a picture of a lava-covered road.
