Boiling Pots of WAiluku on the Big Island

Today I had the opportunity to visit Boiling Pots at Wailuku River State Park. It was my first time and due to the recent storm it was really going strong! "Also known as “Boiling Pots,” Pe‘epe‘e Falls is a section of the 18-mile-long Wailuku River, of which Rainbow Falls is also a part. The second longest river in Hawaiʻi, Wailuku River flows along the line where lava from both Mauna Loa and Mauna Kea meet. The river eroded a gorge in the two lava flows, which were also filled twice by younger lava flows from Mauna Loa. At Boiling Pots, the lava created spaced, nearly vertical columns that formed as the lava cooled in the river bed. When engorged with storm water, the river rises, and water in the terraced pools or “lava pots” becomes turbulent and appears to be boiling." -Hawaii.com
