Steam Vents
Steam vents inside Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park, on National Park Service land about ten miles from Volcano in Hawaii County. Access is recorded as open. The record calls them hot without a figure. This is a hike, nearly two miles from the nearest road.
The approach is a hike of about 1.9 miles; the road is not named on file. National park land with access open. Rainfall is heavy, around seven feet a year, and there is no snow. Elevation is not recorded.
No months are singled out as best. Expect a walk of close to two miles each way. National park rules apply. No temperature is on file, so the vents are a sight, with no soak implied by the record. No fee is recorded here.
USGS hasn't flown a detailed laser scan here yet, so this view comes from aerial photos and older elevation data.
