I've written before on the amazing sunsets and star gazing at the Mauna Kea visitor center, but there's nothing that can beat hiking to the top. Mauna Kea is one of the volcanoes that helped form the Big Island of Hawai'i. However, its last eruption was around 2600 BC. Mauna Kea sits at an elevation …
