Forget every plan you had for Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park. As of 9:17 AM Tuesday, Kīlauea is in a full-blown summit eruption, throwing lava fountains 1,000 feet into the air. The park is closed indefinitely. The USGS alert level is RED. All classic overlooks are hazardous zones, with reports of football-sized tephra. Highway 11 is shut down between mile markers 23 and 40, stranding travelers and forcing evacuations. Watching from a news helicopter isn't your only option. The Mauna Loa summit trailhead, over 20 miles away, offers a safe and legal vantage point. A permit is required via recreation.gov, and the view is best at dawn and dusk. This is the only play right now.
