These hollow rock columns were formed when the lava wrapped around the cool tree trunks and quickly solidified. When the molten lava drained away, these rock columns were left standing. The columns are hollow because the tree trunks themselves were incinerated during the process, but only after the rock had cooled enough to hold it's shape. If you look closely, you can sometimes see the texture of the tree bark in the rock molds.](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/6289524/aada9d04-09c0-4614-b9ef-039e023150e3.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=900&h=506&q=mediumHigh) #### Lava Tree State Monument Enjoy the volcano viewpoints and explore Lava Tree State Monument, a lovely green space in Pahoa.
