Tips from locals
The top of Maunakea has the most incredible views of stars, observatories, and awesome vistas of the entire island. At almost 14,000 feet it's recommended you acclimatize at the Visitor Center at 9,000 feet for 30 minutes before ascending to the top. Tours are available as 4 wheel drive is suggested to drive higher than the Visitor Center.
the best stargazing on a dark night. also great to watch the sunrise or sunset from the top of Mauna Kea above the clouds. this mountain gets a ton of snow during the winter so dress warm!
This is a great spot to go check out. The summit is beautiful. If your into star gazing this is a MUST.
