Kalahaku Overlook

This outlook accesible on the way down from the summit, provides another spectacular view of the crater floor dotted with cinder cones painted in red, brown and gray. From this distance the cinder cones seem small but can be as tall as 600 feet. The cinder cones are considered to be geologically young, having formed in the last 2500 years. Downslope from the overlook's parking lot is an area covered with many silverswords. Beware, there's lots of bees in this area.
