the twin peaks of Mauna Kea and Mauna Loa, both over 13,000 feet high
and divided by ski slopes. Actually, Mauna Kea is only the top of a

be called the tallest mountain in the world, dwarfing Mount Everest by
several thousand feet. "The Big Island" is the youngest in Hawaii, a
mere baby at one million years old and still growing with constant
eruptions and lava flows. It is one of the only places on Earth where
you can still see an active volcano. Along the island's eastern edge,
the desolate moonscape of Volcanoes National Park is home to Kilauea, a
fiery volcano that has been periodically erupting over the last decade.

films including Blue Hawaii, South Pacific, Jurassic Park, Raiders of
the Lost Ark, Outbreak and Gilligan's Island. Yet the camera's lens
could never do the island justice. Some of the best golf courses in the
Hawaiian Islands are found on Kauai, including the Poipu Bay Resort Golf
Course, known from the PGA Grand Slam of Golf, and the Prince Courses at
the Princeville Resort. |

single traffic light, elevator or chain store to be found on this quaint

sand beach. |
