, April 20-28. The National Park Service is offering special programs and events throughout the week.Nearly one year after the Kīlauea Volcano eruption at Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park, much of the famed Kīlauea Iki TrailThe national park, which protects one of the most active volcanoes in the world, closed on May 11, 2018, as volcanic eruptions, earthquakes and flowing lava destroyed trails and switchbacks, park buildings, roads, water systems and other park infrastructure.
Hawaii Volcanos National Park staff survey 2018 earthquake damage on the south side of Crater Rim Drive.Officials ordered residents and visitors to evacuate or face arrest, as the flowing lava destroyed over 700 homes in the area. The park remained closed for 134 days last year due to Kīlauea's unpredictable eruptions. Portions of the park re-opened on September 22, as repairs continued to make more of the park accessible to the public.
While much of the national park and two-thirds of Kīlauea Iki Trail are now open, some areas remain closed for safety reasons.During the past year, park staff have had their hands full. They dealt with a hurricane, two tropical storms and a wildfire on Mauna Loa and a federal government shutdown. Kīlauea is not currently erupting -- although that could change -- and there is no molten lava on the surface, according to the park website. Still, the volcano remains active, and scientists are monitoring its many moods.
Yeah! I was wondering how much longer I had to wait for another park I can't afford to get to opend!
CNN: Volcano eruption probably Trump's fault. Reopening National Park after natural disaster? Definitely not because of Trump. Probably Obama's doing.

Natural selection is real Unfortunate, but there are risks involved when going to dangerous places no matter how many guardrails etc you put up. Prayer for her family if she had one and the witnesses if any. How close to the edge are they walking?!!!

70-year-old woman falls to her death in Grand Canyon National Park70-year-old woman falls to her death in Grand Canyon National Park, becoming the second person this year to do so, authorities say. Getting to be a regular occurrence... Someone should tell people that it's steep. Most people think it's a shallow fall and lined at the bottom with trampolines. She's dead but I feel sorry for her family, that would be horrifying and heartbreaking. Is this a thing? I mean is this where people go to die? Sure hope not.
