Back when I was a kid on one of our trips across country we stopped at Meteor crater in Arizona. My brother and I wanted to hike down and see the little shed at the bottom. No big deal for a 13 year old kid isn great shape. So we hiked down, looked around, hiked out and did not think much about it. Now it is closed to tourists without a special permit. Evidently they had to rescue too many idiots that hare way out of shape and can't get out without help.
In Hawaii on the big island we went on a short hike around the volcano. We can only guess the sign was knocked down, and we ended up taking the long route. 20 miles around the crater. We got back to our cabin, and my parents went in and collapsed on the bed. My brother and I walked down to the lodge, and rented bikes and rode the bicycles down to another area. We were really hungry that night, but that was totally normal.
Mom and dad could hardly walk the next day.
