The Big Island of Hawaii is loaded with hiking trails. The variety far exceeds any other island. From short coastal trails to view petroglyphs, or rainforest trails to secret waterfalls, through lava tubes, along ridges to volcanoes and red hot lava flows. The best part is it is not only fun but free. Bring a flashlight, sun screen, lots of water, a camera, cell phone, hat and sturdy shoes. Start early since the tropical weather can be hot, humid and the sun can be treacherous.
