HVNP Chain of Craters overlooks (Keanakākoʻi, Pauahi, Kealakomo)

Stay on marked trails and overlooks. The pit craters drop hundreds of feet on multiple sides — railings exist for a reason. Do not collect rocks or volcanic glass; HVNP is a national park and removal is prohibited. Hawaiian protocol additionally asks visitors to leave Pele's material in place. The Keanakākoʻi adze quarry context makes the surrounding lava culturally significant beyond the geological. Pack out trash; the overlooks have minimal waste service.
