Ever
since I was a child, I’ve had an obsession with the great outdoors. I’ve also had an obsession with
adrenaline. So I guess it makes
sense that dangerous things seem fun to me, skydiving, riding my bike,
skateboarding, etc. It’ always
been childhood dreams of mine to see a tornado, volcano, bear, wolf, crocodile,
anything dangerous. With that
being said the next National Park I want to discuss is Volcanoes National Park
in Hawaii. Hawaii is another state
I haven’t been to yet.
Volcanoes
National Park Ion the main island of Hawaii. The park offers scenic hiking through lush tropical
rainforest. The park currently has
two active volcanoes, Kilauea and Mauna Loa.
Mauna Loa is the world’s most massive volcano standing at 13,677 feet
above sea level. Hawaii Belt Road
used to be a beltway going around the park, but you can’t really call it that
anymore due to previous eruption covering portions of the road in lava. The weather in the Hawaiian Islands is
always pretty consistent making it a great place to visit all year round. The weather hardly reaches above 90 in
the summer and barely dips below 60 in the winter. The water temperature is averaged around 77 during winter
and 83 during the summer.
When
in Hawaii visiting Volcanoes National Park I think I’ll head to the beach and
try to learn how to surf. I’ve
never been on a surfboard before so I think it’ll be fun to try. Also my mother went a few years back
and she said on her visit she got to swim with sea turtles. Needless to say, I am very
jealous. Turtles are my favorite amphibians. I think Hawaii would make a great couples retreat instead of
a family vacation but who knows.
