Within these gOrgeOusly coli
Ored walls lies superb vol
canic spectacle. Covering the
floor are giant red, black and
orange cinder cones which, al
though hundreds of feet high, are
dwarfed by the immensely of
their surroundings. The crater
has circumference of FL miles
and an area of 10 square miles.
Both sections of the park are
reached from Honolulu by island
boat or airplane. From Hilo, port of
Hawaii island, one may rent an au-
tomobile for the trip to Kilauea or
take regular bus.
MOUNT MCKINLEY National
park, situated in south-central Alas.
ka. was created by act of congress
in 1917. It contains an area of
little more than 5000 square miles.
Principal scenic feature of the park
is mighty Mount Mckinley, highest
peak on the North American con-
tinent. This majestic mountain
rears it's snow-covered head high
into the clouds. reaching an altitude
of 10000 feet above sea level, and
rises 1900 above the timber line.
On it's north and west sides McKin-
ley springs abruptly from plateau
only $500 to 5000 feet high.
For two-thirds of the way
down from its summit Mount
Mckinley is enveloped in snow
throughout the year. Denan,
''home of the sum-" was the name
given to this impressive noun
tain by the early Indians.
Near Mount Mckinley are Mount
Foraker. with an elevation of 1900
feet; Mount Hunter, 1850 feet, and
Mount Russell, 1850 feet. Great
glaciers fed by the high snow fields
of this mountain range flow many
miles both to the north and to the
south.
During the park season, which ex-
tends from June 10 to September 10,
with more than Is hours of daylight
each day, there is wealth of flow
ering plants. The park is also the
home of many interesting animals
and birds.
Prospective visitors to Mount
Mckinley National park probably
will make the trip to Alaska by
steamer from Seattle. To use the
war constructed Alaska highway
through Canada requires a special
permit from the Canadian govern
ment, and permits are not yet
granted to motor tourists. Business
men. settlers and bus passengers
may apply for permits to l.. E.

sion, Alaska Highway, Edmonton,

National Parks
Ninth
In a Series

in the same month. Main features
in the park are two spectacular vol
canoes, frequently active, Kilauea
and Mauna Loa on the island of
Hawaii. and one of the worlds larg-
est dormant volcanoes, Haleakala
on the island of Maui. The total
area within the two sections of the
park is about 275 square miles.
Kilauea, probably older than its
neighbor. towering Mauna Loa. Gre
ates the impression of being a
crater in the side of the higher
mountain. although it is itself
mountain with an altitude of 1850
feet. This illusion is the result of
broad depression at it's top and of
its gentle slopes. caused by lava
flows from many lateral vents.
Within the depression is vast pit,
Halemaumau or House of Fire.
which often contains boiling, bub-
bling mass of molten lava whose
surface fuctuates from bottom to
rim.
Until 1924 molten lava was
usually visible at any time i'm
Halemaumau, but activity since
then has been spasmodic. It's
risings are accompanied by
brilliant fountains and infiows
of liquid lava, and its coverings
by tr e M d us avalanches
which send up enormous dust
clouds.
To the west of Kilauea rises the
vast dome of Mauna Loa whose
summit crater. Mokuaweoweo, is
included in the national park. In
cluded also is broad connecting
belt between the. two volcanoes.
Mauna Loa thrusts it great bulk
1850 feet above the surrounding
Pacific. BY eruptions in it's summit
crater and by flank outbreaks it is
constantly adding to its mass.
In action Mauna Loa is even
more spectacular than Kilauea, and
steam vents continually send feath-
cry clouds into the air. Extending
northeast and southwest from the
summit are volcanic riffs with
many deep rents formed by earth
quake and eruption as well as many
brilliantly colored spatter cones,
some 200 feet in height. Twice since
1880 the City of Hilo at the base of
the volcano has been threatened by
great rivers of lava which have
flowed down the sides of the noun
tain.
HALEAKALA SECTION of Ha-
Waii National park is on the island
of Maui. This volcano derives its
name, which means blouse of the
Sum-" from a legend about the Poly
nesian demigod Maui, who climbed
to the top of Haleakala, ensnared
the rays of the sun, and forced it to
travel more slowly in its course SO
that his mother might have suffi-
cient time to complete her days
work. Haleakala, now rising more
than 10000 feet above sea level, was
,nce much higher mountain. A

go. formed great crater 71s
