The Big Island's Chain of Craters Road starts at the volcano and ends at the ocean. The descent follows the trajectory of past lava flows, and as you go the weather changes. On this trip it was cool and misty at the top, then rainy, then partly cloudy, then sunny and hot and windy, and back to warm and mild.
