We went to the Temple this morning and then after lunch we went to Kaloko-Honokohau, a National Historic Park just outside of Kona, and went for a hike.
The trails go through lava fields, trees, past fish traps and fish ponds and also along a beach and tidal pool area. The lava fields are pretty monotonous but the trees and beach were interesting. On part of this hike we shared our trail with a monk seal. A nice highlight to the hike because I’d never seen one up close before.
Is this my best side?
Or is this?
Looking back along the beach
Sea cucumbers in a small tidal pool. I've never seen so many in one place before.

Such great pictures! And monk seal? So cool! I'm really jealous.
There were TONS of sea cucumbers EVERYWHERE when I was at the Great Barrier Reef...they are pretty gross, I think...
