Welcome back, hikers, to another exciting episode of Papa Bear Hikes! I'm your host, Martin, and today, we're diving into the heart of an island paradise with a very special guest and friend, Colleen Meyer.

Colleen and her husband Greg recently embarked on a captivating journey through Volcanoes National Park with friends. Despite not being expert hikers, their passion for nature and adventure has led them to some incredible places, including a recent trek through this mesmerizing landscape.

Join us as Colleen recounts their 4.4-mile hike, a perfect balance of drama and accessibility. What makes this hike so special? Well, imagine walking through a dormant caldera right next to an active one! It's a unique opportunity to witness the raw power of nature up close and personal.

But that's not all—recent seismic changes have added a new layer of intrigue to the experience. Colleen shares how, for the first time in years, there was no telltale glow after dark, signaling shifts beneath the earth's surface. It's a reminder that these landscapes are constantly evolving, always keeping us on our toes.

Despite their modest hiking background, Colleen and Greg prove that you don't need to be a seasoned pro to explore the great outdoors. From their early days on the Appalachian Trail to their adventures in various national parks, they've shown that anyone can embrace the call of the wild.
