Chain of Craters Road
Alanui Kahiko, HI

This roadside pulloff is the site of the 1969 lava flow that covered the Chain of Craters Road. Interpretation draws the visitor's attention to the lava covering the road, explains that lava flow covered 12 miles of the road (in some places, 100 meters deep), and points out that a similar occurence could block any road in the park at any time. It emphasizes the active volcanic processes and the temporary nature of human development.
