Re Volcano Nat'l Park Pass: If you are 62 or older, you can buy a lifetime pass to ALL the National Parks for only $10.00.
Admits a car load of people to any National Park and a number of other sites, such as Corp of Engineers damsites, etc.

I have made 3 overnight hikes in HVNP in the last six months, there was always some place that had space. I just stop in the day of my hike and get my free permit and that's it. Most of time I never see another person.

When was that? I moved there in 1994 and I don't think there was a state cabin then. What is now Niaulani (used by the Volcano Arts Center) used to be the state forestry cabin, and that's the only place I can think of that it might be. It was run-down when I got there though.
