Volcano, Big Island (Hawai'i Island), February 26, 2022

 Today we checked out of our AirBnB in the rainforest and drove across the island via the saddle road.  The center of the island is dominated by desertlike lava flows and always overshadowed by the 13,803 foot snow-topped Mauna Kea.  The diverse microclimates of this island never fail to amaze.


Still on the Rainforest Side we stopped by this waterfall.

The big island has thousands of ferel pigs and goats.
