On your way down the Chain of Craters Road, you pass the turnoff for Hilina Pali Road. The next set of hikes in this book are those that start on Hilina Pali Road. They are ssss1 through ssss1.

The next set of hikes for Hawaii Volcanoes National Park originates outside the Kilauea area, along the Mauna Loa Road. (Sometimes it’s called the Mauna Loa Strip Road.) You get to this road by staying on Highway 11 for just over two miles past the turnoff to the visitor center. The most important foot trail up Mauna Loa begins—no surprise—at the end of the Mauna Loa Road. ssss1 through ssss1 start from the Mauna Loa Road.

There’s one more park hike still farther southwest on Highway 11. That’s the last Hawaii Volcanoes National Park hike in this book, ssss1, the Footprints Trail.
