Hawaii’s National Parks Are Amazing
Will talks through what makes Hawai'i Volcanoes and Haleakala so unlike anything else in the system. Arriving at the volcano at night and seeing that red glow in the air is something he still can't shake. Two parks, both worth the flight.
More Than Just Parks co-founder Will Pattiz discusses everything that makes Hawaii’s National Parks so amazing. Hawaii is home to two incredible national parks – Hawai’i Volcanoes National Park & Haleakala National Park.
I first visited Hawai’i Volcanoes for the first time nearly a decade ago and it was a life-changing experience. There was something so magical about arriving into the park at night and seeing the red glow of the volcano at work in the air, smelling that sulfuric smell, and then to actually see lava – so cool.
Seeing the sunset at the crater at Haleakala National Park (I know, sunrise is what everyone goes for) was another incredible and mind-blowing experience. Driving all the way up to the top of the island after having just swam in the warm ocean water and realizing I needed a jacket getting out of the car was crazy!
