When we were done, we drove back to the hotel, showered, changed, got some lunch and then went to Imiloa. We checked out some native and canoe plants. This was especially important because we could not get up into Hawaii Volcanoes National Park.
After getting into our warm clothes, we went up to Mauna Kea so see the stars. We could also see the glow of the lava from the fissures. On our way down, we could really see the lava glow AND some actual lava spewing up...from a long distance, but it was impressive! I forgot my tripod attachment at home, so please forgive the shakeiness.
