From Rain Forest to Desert

We started the day with a hike along a former horse trail that went across the island. It was replaced by the current Saddle Road that passes between the big island's two major volcanos, Manna Loa and Manna Koa. We then drove to the north-west portion of the island. That portion of the island is more like central Utah - high desert. In less than 40 miles we went from lush tropical forest to what looked like a moonscape. This is our last full day on the island. It has been great!
