The Lava Lookout is a destination in itself. It’s located literally ‘after the road ends’ so know that Hilo and HVNP are not too far but if you want to venture to Kona, you’ll be driving fir some time. The kitchen is 100% stocked with everything you could need to make a meal and the views are incredible. Bed was comfortable and room was clean. Great spot for the adventurous traveler.
