Day 4 on the Big Island had Eric going on a 15 mile hike along the coast and me and Marcus visiting the Mauna Loa Macadamia Nut Factory. We got to learn all about how Macadamia Nuts are harvested and watch the chocolates being made. We also bought some candy of course. When we got back to Volcanoes National Park, Marcus and I hiked 1 1/2 miles out to see the Petroglyphs drawn on the lava. When Eric finished his hike, we all headed up to the Hilina Pali Overlook.
The view from the overlook.
We were pretty high up.
After dinner, we drove out to Pahoa to see the active lava. Our camera didn't take very good pictures of it, but it was pretty cool to see the lava both where it was coming out of the cone and also where it was hitting the water.
