Mauna Kea

This mountain trail fits perfectly a day hike adventure. It start in the Visitor Centre, where we should fill the form to the rangers, registering our leaving and then walk up, until the summit. It is an hard trail, that depends a lot on the weather conditions. In our day, it was perfect, without clear and warm. The problem is the altitude and the snow up, that make the progression more hard. The signs in the trail aren't enough visible if there are smog or darkness, as they are rusty sticks. The walk itself is wonderfull, with Mauna Loa always in the field and the clouds behind our feet.
