Hike to
Keauhou Point, Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, Big Island, Hawaii
View Original Description
Keauhou is located on the southern seacoast of Hawai`i Volcanoes National Park and is one of the favored destinations of hearty wilderness hikers. The campsite is 6.8 miles from the closest trailhead. The hike to Keauhou can be a grueling, hot hike through predominately non-native grasses to a small rocky bay where cold fresh water seeps to the surface and mixes with the ocean.
The campsite may be accessed from several trailheads;
Mau Loa o Mauna Ulu via the Keauhou Trail - 6.8 miles (accessed via Chain of Craters Road).
Pu`u Loa via the Puna Coast Trail - 9.7 miles (accessed via Chain of Craters Road).
Hilina Pali Overlook (10+miles - not recommended)
