Where my morning walk takes me. Pahoa is a small town 38 miles south of Hilo. Quiet, hippy feel...
If you're anywhere near Pahoa, head out to the coast on Government Beach Road for a short drive through a lovely rainforest. Surprisingly different than the rest of the coast, which is either built up into subdivisions, cleared for crops, or covered in lava.

Thurston Lava Tube

2.5/5(6 reviews)

Head deep into the rainforest to walk in this ancient tunnel carved from lava and marvel at the astonishing power of nature.

Thurston Lava Tube
In 1790 a swift moving lava flow leveled the forest here and drained away, leaving behind a new forest of "lava trees". These hollow rock columns were formed when the lava wrapped around the cool tree trunks and quickly solidified. When the molten lava drained away, these rock columns were left standing. The columns are hollow because the tree trunks themselves were incinerated during the process, but only after the rock had cooled enough to hold it's shape. If you look closely, you can sometimes see the texture of the tree bark in the rock molds.
