The Mauna Loa eruption viewing area along the Daniel K. Inouye Highway is now open.
The Old Saddle Road lava viewing area between the 28.5-mile marker to the 34-mile marker is now open. The closure was due to an explosive device that was located and has since been neutralized. HPD would like to remind the public that walking onto the lava field is prohibited and discouraged. Doing so creates a substantial risk as the terrain is very difficult. Please stay within the designated viewing area. Thank you for your patience and understanding.
