Manuka State Wayside
The Manuka State Wayside Park is a state park located between Kona and Volcanoes National Park. To us mainlanders, it is a rest-area, but here it is a state park complete with it’s very own hiking trail which leads to a pit crater. That’s pretty much about it, a trail that leads to a crater in the jungle. It wasn’t much, but it was my first experience hiking in the Hawaiian rain forest (read; hot, sticky, and bugs) so I ventured off with my camera in hand.
