I went up to the park today. They had everything around the chain of craters road/crater rim drive area closed with fire dept trucks nearby. Devastation, Pu u Puahi, the area of crater rim drive you used to be able to walk down.
Just now read this on the HVO site: "As a precaution during this heightened state, the following areas are closed: Puʻupuai Overlook, Devastation Trail, Keanakākoʻi and Old Crater Rim Drive, Crater Rim Trail to Keanakākoʻi, Hilina Pali Road, Kulanaokuaiki, Mauna Iki Trail, Kaʻū Desert Trail."
That will kind of suck if it doesn't erupt in the crater. I'm sure they won't let you anywhere near it and it may even cut off the roads...
