nice pics

they have cars with people in them preventing people from entering :)
Yep, but I doubt if it costs $200k/month!

Here is the link to the national park's website:

wow, great pictures

that looks similar to looking at lava flows looking down from Opie Dildock Pass

or as the PCT goes south of Yapoah crater, there are these lava flows next to the trail

With the park closed and authorities only letting residents into the affected areas you can't get very close.
Except at sea. Licensed boat tours are allowed to do their thing.

I hadn't thought of that - good comment! I suppose the tour helicopters could give you a good view too.
