Kilauea Overlook

A pause-worthy panorama that was closed at time of research with an expected reopening date in 2020. It's most remarkable for the 6-ton volcanic bomb sitting defiantly on the rim daring you to take eruptions lightly (miraculously, it survived the 80,000 earthquakes of 2018). Frustratingly, there is no view from the covered picnic tables, but there is shelter from wind and rain.
