A fixed “top 10” list is unsafe on an island where eruptions, storms, falling trees, floods, and road damage can change access overnight. Choose the kind of hike you want, then let the current land manager decide whether that trail belongs in today’s plan.
Do not use this page as today’s open-or-closed list. For national park hikes, open the NPS Alerts & Conditions page on the day you go and follow posted signs when you arrive. For trails outside the park, check the responsible state, county, or private land manager. A temporary closure belongs in those live status systems, not in an evergreen ranking.
