Actually, during the shut down, only the first 2 are open, all back country trails are closed.... & the park may be closed after Wed, 1/9 unless there`s an infusion of over $12K/day from some alternate sources, as the local sources that have been funding the current open status are running low on resources...
(AND with "non-essential" staff on furlough, there are no fees collected, a major funding for Hawai`i Volcanoes NP, so there will be less resources for major renovation work needed.... for those who have no idea, a major portion of gate fees & pass sales at the park go directly back to the park....)
