| | Camping at Hosmer Grove was real chilly so bring a warm jacket, hat and gloves. The hiking book we use is Hawaii Big Island Trailblazer. It has a nice selection of dayhikes with good directions. We reservedd a cabin in the crater for an overnight stay. Awesome experience, spectacular star gazing. Says George
