Giant Forest At Sequoia National Park Reopens To Public

The Giant Forest area of Sequoia National Park, home to the General Sherman Tree, the largest tree in the world (by volume), reopened to the public on Friday. The area closed in early March in advance of what would become a catastrophic series of storms. Those storms left behind severe road and infrastructure damage that continues to impact public access.

Trails I’ve Hiked: Kīlauea Iki Trail

Imagine a lake of bright yellow-orange lava with a molten fountain gushing 1,900 feet (580m) in the air. Now imagine walking across a smoothed solid rock surface where that lava lake once churned, guided by ahu (rock cairns) past a tall cinder cone as you aim toward the other side. That’s the experience of the Kīlauea Iki Trail in Hawai’i Volcanoes National Park.
