  • Bev is heading up the trail. Just another 7.5 miles (and a gain of about 7,000 feet in elevation) would get her up to the rim of the Mauna Loa crater. I've heard that it is a rather challenging trail. Guess we better head back to Kona instead.....
  • Cool trees up here. And with that, we descend back down to the southern coast and resume our trip toward the Kona (west) side of Hawaii.
