Devastation Trail in Hawaii National Park offers visitors a chance to stroll through a visually striking landscape that was once buried by volcanic activity. This easy, wheelchair and stroller accessible trail takes hikers on a 1-mile round trip journey through the recovering area, showcasing the return of life to this once devastated terrain.
With sections of the paved trail featuring grades greater than 8%, visitors are advised to come prepared for hot, dry, wet, and windy weather conditions. The trail can be accessed from either the Pu'upua'i parking lot or the Devastation Trail parking lot, both located off of Crater Rim Drive. Caution is advised when parking, as the threatened Hawaiian geese frequent the area. It is important to refrain from feeding the geese, as they can become dependent on human food and pose a risk to themselves and passing vehicles.
