On Kilauea's eastern side, Cavity Rim Dr goes through rainforest kipuka (desert gardens) thick with tree greeneries and ohia trees. A regularly flooding parking area is the entrance point for the ever-well known Thurston Magma Tube. All the visit transports stop here and it's a most loved with children, so plan to come early or late in the day. A 0.3-mile circle walk begins in ohia backwoods loaded with birdsong before heading underground through a colossal magma tube that is misleadingly lit.

If you haven't noticed, the number of bear warnings and campsite closings in the Smoky Mountains continues to increase. Since early spring, a new warning or closing has popped-up almost every week. In fact, two new warnings have been added just this week. Expect to see more bears this year according to bear expert.
