Here at Go Visit Hawaii, I like to create a virtual visit to Hawaii as often as possible. I love looking through my photo collection. As I looked through my photos of the Big Island today, I was inspired to take you on a virtual visit to the lava fields of Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. In the park you’ll see acres and acres of hardened black lava. Sometimes you’ll find a field of lava with dots of green. Those green dots are plants that are determined to anchor down and recreate the rainforest that thrived there before lava destroyed it. Isn’t it amazing?
