HI Volcano Natl. Park?

[We are Devo]

Would Jan. or Feb. be too cold and rainy to visit? I'm jonesing to finally go there and I like traveling when kids are in school, not the summer months...

Thanks!

1. Not at all a specialist, but doubt there's a problem.

NEVER COLD!

2. Naw you should be fine...

Feel free to post any questions in the Hawaii group if you like here: http://www.democraticunderground.com/104738

Probably be a little chilly/breezy at the summit, and I wouldn't rule the possibility of some snow out, but some halfway decent hiking boots, jeans, a sweater, and a windbreaker should be sufficient. At higher elevations, it can often get down to the 50s and then freezing at night because of the wind.

Unfortunately the Volcano Lodge is closed: http://www.nps.gov/havo/planyourvisit/lodging.htm

You can also search for other lodging at the NPS site...it's about a 45 minute to an hour drive from Hilo and 2 1/3 hours from Kona, that's direct with no stops.
