Pu'u O'o Trail - Hiking area in Hilo - Island of, USA

Love this trail for getting above the humidity of Hilo especially during the rainy season. It can be wet too. This trail has cultural significance and two forests with native birds before leading onto the desert plains, that’s where I turn around, just after the second forest

Well marked trail. Because it is at elevation it is generally a bit cooler.

Very nice trail with an outstanding landscape. Wear good shoes. Bring water and sunscreen, and remember you're always at an altitude of almost 5000 feet.

It was a great day for a hike, fog drifted in close by, but did not detain the sunshine. I was pleasantly surprised by how forested the area was with so much lava rock. The trail is marked with rock piles. I met up with people birding, they were saying this was an as good place to see indigenous birds.

I didn't have time today to make the 7 mile hike but I was able to stop and enjoy the view and read the signs at the trailhead. There is a decent place to park on either side of the road.

Great hike if you out and back the long trail. If you do the loop, the road is pretty boring.

Good hike. Not very demanding but the trail is pretty variable. Good to have shoes that offer ankle support but not necessary.

Great trail for flattish hike. Beautiful flora through several different lava flows. Lush kipukas. Dogs allowed on leash. No facilities. Only 20 minutes from Hilo. Love to hike this when I need a quick workout.
