Every New Years Day the Hawaiian Trail and Mountain Club hikes Koko Crater.

It's a very short hike but with a log of variety for its size, so I think it
might be of interest on this group.

We start up a ridge that has a natural stone bridge on the way up to the crater
rim, follow the rim to the top of an old war-time tramway, down the tramway,
through a short lava tube and along a rocky shore back to the trailhead area.

This link shows the 2012-01-01 version.

I wish I had a good frontal view of the crater, but possibly one can get an
idea from the Google map as to why the proper Hawaiian name for the crater is
Kohelepelepe, which should be taken as something like "labia minor."

Nice photos--thanks.

The thumbnails are way to "heavy" (take too long to
download).

Thanks for the comment. I worried a bit about the thumbnails; I guess I'll have
to stop being lazy and go back to making real ones. I'll see how quick I can
get it done for the Koko Crater photos.

I wonder whether the photos have the same problem. I've been uploading them full
size in case anyone wanted to look at them that way and just cutting them down
to 889x667 in the HTML. Should I go back to making them really that small?

IMO, if someone is interested in the photo enough to click
on it, then they'd probably prefer the best resolution they
can get.

Of course, you could do it like Wiki, where you can keep
clicking, as long as your interest holds out, to get
progressively higher resolution graphics. Probably a lot of
work for regular folks, tho. I've never built a web page at
all, so I just stick with criticism! ;-))
