My drive today takes me from one season into another. I start the day in the endless summer that is Kailua-Kona-temperature a perfect, breezy 80 degrees F, but by afternoon I'm in the eternal 55-degree autumn of volcano country. Only in Hawaii. Break for the Coffee Belt I go from Kona to volcano country on Highway 11 or 180 via the Kona Coffee Belt, home of the famed, expensive bean. It's a world in miniature-tiny shops and houses tilting over the edge of lush green slopes with views of the misty blue Pacific 1,500 feet below. Make sure Driver Guy keeps his eye on the narrow, winding road as it passes through the scenic coffee villages of Holualoa, Honalo, Kainaliu, Kealakekua and Captain Cook. In the village of Holualoa, I always park in front of the rickety Kona Inn Hotel and run in to use its novel men's room. The restrooms are perched on a green cliff, with open-air views of the Pacific. Guaranteed your guy will get a huge kick out of this one. Treat this part of the drive as a coffee-tasting experience. Greenwell Farms, family-owned since 1873, lets you tour its orchards, which are white as snow in the spring when the first coffee blossoms pop out. Be sure to take home a pound or two of beans. They make a cup of joe that's wonderfully rich and strong-and redolent of the Big Island. Entering cattle country Volcano country a-waits, so head south on Highway 11. Road signs indicate the dates of the volcanic eruptions (1950, 1919, 1907) that sent lava bubbling down the slopes from the 13,680-foot Mauna Loa, which looms in the clouds somewhere above you. You'll pass in and out of thickets of eucalyptus. The smell of ripening mangoes makes the air seem-and almost taste-sticky sweet. (I always carry a plastic bag and a pocket knife on Hawaii drives. You never know when you might want to stop and pluck something tasty off a tree.) Just beyond Milolii, a quaint fishing village, follow a sign to South Point. Now you'll rumble through hot, arid cattle country. At South Point, you'll stand on a sheer and lonely bluff above the misty Pacific, the southernmost point in the U.S., the spot where the Polynesians, up from the South Pacific in outrigger canoes, first landed on these shores a thousand years ago. The first time I saw this killer view I vowed to myself, "You won't come back here alone." And I was right. When I next returned some years later, I brought my wife, who loved the whole area. However, she reminded me that she wasn't too keen on heights. We drove a short distance through the sagebrush and mesquite wilds to another end-of-the-world bay. Here she felt a little better. We gazed at some giant logs that lined the shore like lawn furniture, which had drifted all the way here from the Pacific Northwest. And you know, one made a perfect backrest for two. Hitting Hawaii Volcanoes National Park Now get set for the big climate change. You pass from summer to fall as you drive the last miles to Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. The park, 340 square miles, is all rain forest, dripping ferns and steaming fissures. Take the Crater Rim Drive, an 11-mile loop of the vast Kilauea caldera, at the center of which lies the always-steaming Halemaumau fire pit. The road dips through fern jungles, lava desert and plumes of sulphurous smoke. It's enough to give you the shivers. So warm your bones in the Volcano House, a venerable inn with tall windows looking onto the steaming caldera. The inn has a big lava-stone fireplace where a log fire has burned nonstop for 60-plus years-yes, they actually keep it stoked night and day. You can sit by the fireplace and take a nap (no one will disturb you). For dinner try Surt's, a cool cafe in the old Volcano Store. Then point the car downhill toward summer.

Kind of makes you wonder about Hawaiian food. Do the Fed-Ex guys go there? alexv : 06/16/2005 3:04 PM Yeah, Hawaiian food has always sounded a bit bizarre to me. Maybe it helps absorb all those potent tropical cocktails. patonthis : 06/16/2005 3:11 PM Cocktails ... yes. That's why Mr. Lee sits in his office all day by himself and all I hear is laughing ... ellen : 06/16/2005 9:26 PM I don't care for pineapple on my pizza either. tjs : 06/22/2005 9:12 AM Are UPS guys as good a restaurant gauge as cops?

Hawaii Volcano Observatory is

*** VOLCANO! *** VOLCANO! Land of fire and home of Pele! HAWAII VOLCANOES NATIONAL PARK The premier Big Island attraction is 30 miles from Hilo and attracts over two million visitors each year. At the main visitor center, an outstanding film begins every hour on the hour introducing you to volcanology. The Jaggar Museum at Hawaii Volcano Observatory is perched above the rim of Halemaumau Crater with outstanding educational exhibits and displays. Besides earth sciences and volcanology, the park is also the center of Hawaiian cultural preservation and values. Unlike other volcanoes, Hawaiian eruptions are not generally explosive and are relatively safe if you obey the rangers. The current eruption phase has began with dramatic fountaining on January 3, 1983 and has been steadily pumping molten lava into a well developed tube system that speeds the fluid magma to the sea to build new land. It's cut Chain of Craters Road but you'll be able to get near the new flow, explore the old Hawaiian village sites, the petroglyph trails, and see the aesthetic beauty of fresh lava. The park is filled with things to learn, panoramic scenery, details of nature, and places to explore. Hike across a frozen lava crater floor with steam still rising. Explore a "kipuka" island of old forest surrounded with barren newer lava. Walk through a lava tube or see "lava trees" or tree molds. There's so much to see and do and only some of it is covered in the following two links! HAWAII VOLCANOES NATIONAL PARK WEBSITE KILAUEA UPDATE - HAWAII VOLCANO OBSERVATORY VOLCANO VILLAGE Just outside the park, the village is steadily and quietly becoming a major destination with a lot of the flavor of California's Marin County or Carmel-Monterey. At a cool elevation, it was a favorite area for the wealthiest families from throughout Hawaii to have vacation homes. From ancient times, Volcano has been a sacred place where Pele and nature rules. It's the very special Big Island place that cannot be discovered by the day-trippers or cruise boat passengers on the tour buses. Those who know or seek to discover make Volcano Village their basecamp. Some beautiful older vacation estates have been converted into wonderful, comfortable, and personalized small scale accommodations. The inventory keeps growing to serve all segments of interests and budgets. Modern elegant retreats or historical comfortable homes featuring full breakfast table discussions of places to see or things to do. Luxurious secluded vacation homes or larger facilities are ideal for elegant corporate retreats and meetings. Cozy modest cottages ideal for newlyweds are tucked into the rainforest surrounded by the scent and sounds of pristine nature. Here hot tubs and fireplaces create a magical romantic mood. Tall straight Sugi (Cryptomeria japonica) trees line the old Volcano Road that passes through the village. Monterey Cypresses blend with azaleas in gardens more associated with temperate climates than the tropics. SPECIAL PLACES IN THE VOLCANO AREA VOLCANO WINERY. A winery in Hawaii? Of course! Where else would you find exotic tropical fruit blends like Passion Chablis or Volcano Red? Or Tropical Hawaiian Honey Wines! Or Symphony Grape Wines! Open every day from 10AM to 5:30PM with a tasting room.

Since the mid-1800's, this venerable institution has been sitting on the edge of Kilauea caldera. By 1877, there were improvements and the building that now houses the Volcano Art Center was built. A new and larger hotel was built in the 1890s and George Lycurgus and his nephew arrived in 1894 to manage it. He acquired it in 1932 and became its gracious host. In 1940 the hotel burned but was rebuilt as it stands today. VOLCANO ART CENTER. Inside Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, next to the main Visitor Center, and in the original Volcano House, you'll find the best juried selection of the finest art of Hawaii with the creations of over 300 Hawaiian artists ranging from furniture to jewelry. Volcano Art Center is a non-profit, tax-exempt, educational organization created in 1974 to promote, develop and perpetuate the artistic and cultural heritage of Hawaii's people and environment. They present programs, classes, workshops, lectures and performances and more! Enjoy the staff and enter into Hawaii's fine art community!
