The Byron Ledge Trail connects with the Halemaumau Trail and other trails. From the Halemaumau fire pit, the trail crosses Kilauea’s caldera floor eastward and then climbs to the Byron Ledge trail. On the Byron Ledge trail, you have views of both Kilauea and Kilauea Iki and pass through the rainforest and by mounds.  Many of the plants along this trail are marked for educational purposes and stairs are provided for an easier assent/decent.
